| Just saw an announcement for MIX on the web. Apparently I have now signed up to be a member of one of the great teams in NA. Definitely getting pumped and it's still 5 months away.
Registered teams include racers from 27 different states and two Canadian provinces. With only seven teams from the host state of Michigan, the event certainly has shown a national appeal and is widely considered as the biggest adventure race in the United States for 2007. The event has drawn some top notch competition including past Michigan C2C winners SOLE and Absolute Endo. Challenging these past podium winners will be great teams from all over North America including: Eastern Mountain Sports, Silly Rabbits, Enduraventure, WEDALI, NMET, TravelCountry.com, Checkpoint Zero, and Salomon/Sunnto just to name a few.

| |
| Pixie and I headed out on the THI map to play in the snow. I made us wear snowshoes so we got a bit of a workout while we walked around in the woods. Pixie navigated almost all of them and did pretty well. I had her trying to navigate from point to point without stopping to take a bearing. |

| FAR Winter Race |
| Adventure Racing race 6:00:00 [4] | |
| |
| FAR Winter Race. We did really well on the bike/trek considering one teammate was suffering with bad stomach pain. Could have found the first advanced ski checkpoint much cleaner, but otherwise no major problems. This race definitely favored the strong skiers which was a nice change from previous races, 4th place overall. |

| Weights 30:00 [2] | |

| Note | |

| Was going to ride tonight, but EJ called during the day and said he had tickets to the Raptors, row 16. Seeing as I've never sat outside the Sprite zone I couldn't say no. |
