Team Events

December 10-13, 2001 Expedition BVI - 4 person team (Bill Dean, Sandy Geisel, Chris "Robie" Robishaw, and myself). We won 6th place out of the 24 teams that started, and a cash prize of $5000! This was 4 days through paradise, through which we learned what really lies in those beautiful island mountains. In the 4 days of this race, we got 4 hours of sleep. But we managed to stay in the Competitor category (the top level), which meant we spent the most time on the course draining our bodies. In fact, we finished the 3rd day 5 minutes before the start of the 4th day - no time for rest! Here's a map of the race, and some pictures. Here's some new pictures that I'll merge in with the others when I have time.

October 13, 2001 Appalachain Not-So Extreme - 3 person team (Sheri Belling, Nello Teer, and myself) finished 21st out of 32 teams (due to a bad navigational judgment call, we were in 9th until then!). Race results are posted, and here's a few team pictures: us, us again, Sheri and I.

June 24, 2001 Hi-Tec - 3 person team (Jamie Guthridge, Paul Madigan, and myself) finished in 3:14 hours, which would've been 20th in the all male division (of around 100 teams), however we were DQ-ed because Jamie was injured and unfortunately couldn't continue with us after the paddling section. Here's some pictures and the results are posted (look for Atlanta, Male), however don't look for us because they didn't post DQs.
