Team MM BBQ

Last night was the first time TMMAR got together in a non-training environment. In fact, it was the first time that many of the individuals who raced with TMMAR this year were able to meet one another.

Last night was a good get together and an opportunity to wish the team good luck at nationals next week. As busy as I am right now with work, consulting, fire training and family I really wish we had set up a second team. Oh well...it gives us something to look forward to next season. We did start talking about a few races next spring and summer....will we do a multi-day race?

I need to get profiles on the rest of the team and those who attended last night:
Pete, Clark and ?????????? (I am the worst at remembering names) Good Luck at Nationals.

And those of us who will be cheering from our computers:

Alan (who filled in for me at Wild AR 24)
Jessie (hope the leg gets better for next year)
William (Finish that drywall)
Jen (Happy early birthday)

Missing in action last night was:
Nicole (Tri)
Meghan....(where are you?)

Does the season ever end?

Adventure racing is one sport that I believe is continuous year round. The amount of training and effort it takes to get in shape to be able to compete for 24 consecutive hours is a lot. At least if you want to be functional the day after a long race.

TMMAR started training last year in early January with some MNOC races. The team is going to Nationals in three weeks which marks the end of the season but that is when we need to start training for the next year. It does not make sense to take a couple of months off....

Good luck to Pete, Clark and our newest female racer (I don't even remember her name).
