Ripe for Racing!

While Dirty Avocados Adventure Racing looks forward to 2010, we reflect on 2009.  What a year it has been!  We raced in New Hampshire's mountains at Untamed New England, in California's Sierras at Gold Rush Motherlode, and the world's biggest sand desert at the Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge.  Wow!

2010 is already starting to take shape.  An early highlight will be another epic adventure on the other side of world: Australia's XPD Expedition Adventure Race.  We'll also be racing all of the local AR contests--especially those in the new Checkpoint Tracker Series.  And long-term, we're looking forward to September's Desert Winds Expedition.

Train hard, race harder, and be safe.

Robert Finlay's great article on Hypothermia - a must read.
In January of last year I wrote a blog called "I'm Cold--training and racing in Winter Conditions." The following article by Robert Finlay expands on my earlier article and is better written. As I sit in my warm office watching it pour rain outside, and only a few weeks until Gold Rush MotherLoad starts, I understand the importance of knowing how to deal with the cold. This is a critical lesson for anyone who is going to be outside for extended periods of time in bad weather. more...

NEMO Tents Are More Than Required Gear!
"Required Gear" is critical to adventure racing. This is gear an Adventure Race Director has deemed necessary to up the odds for racer safety, and gear that is necessary to complete the various race disciplines. However, required gear sometimes flies in the face of many racers, as most of us want to be as light as possible and the thought of carrying things like...a tent...makes our weight-weenie hinnies pinch tightly! But, we also want to be safe...for the most part! That said, we're always looking for the best of both worlds. more...
