Team Update

Well, we're back for another year.  We're planning the race schedule now and have been training over the offseason as much as weather would allow.  Last year was interesting, if not a bit dangerous, but we learned a lot and got some good races in so we should be ready to go this season.  We've got a few races already lined up to compete in and the offseason training is starting to ramp up.  Just as we did last year, look for the bulk of the events to be in the realm of adventure racing, that special niche market for people who like to punish themselves not just on the bike or on foot but also paddling, ripping through swamps/forests and whatever else race directors come up with...rappeling, swimming, portaging boats, general lunacy like that.  This year we'll also be doing some other events...duathlons, the occasional mountain bike race or cyclocross event just for fun, really whatever sounds fun and challenging.  We'll be posting a prospective race schedule soon.
