Tecnu Extreme/StaphAseptic battled hard in N.E this past weekend against the toughest competition in North America in 2010. It was the only World Championships qualifier in North America, and all the top teams had assembelled to do battle racing non stop for three days over 250 miles. The weather was perfect. The time was right. After coming out of the long 40 mile paddle in 3rd, the team maintained their placing through much of the race, but in the end, the race course proved tougher, and the challenging terrain, and the heat of the competition prevailed. The team finished 8th, albeit short of our goal of qualifying to go to Worlds, but we learned so much and are proud of finishing when so many teams faltered. This race was different in many ways from the races we typically do, and with some careful planning, next year we will be atop the podium. Thanks to the organizers for a kick butt race, and thank you to the 42 teams for providing a very competitive format that tested our resolve. We take away alot from this race, and are excited to see where the rest of 2010 takes us. We are learning. We are growing. When we put it all together, look out. See you at the next race. The Desertwinds expedition race in Nevada sept 26-29th awaits.
