Big Tahoma Rogaine

To hone the Navigation skills Glenn and I raced as Team Trioba in the 12 hour rogaine at Mt. Tahoma. The race is put on by our friend and long time racer/race director Eric Bone of Mergeo.com. We entered the 12 hour duathalon, 6 hours of biking followed by 6 hours of running, so we could hone our skills and work any kinks out that would be better left in the hills of Washington over the next couple weeks of racing.

One thing about Tahoma is that there is not a lot of flat ground. You are either going up or you are going down, so we spent some serious time working our way up. After the maps were handed out we strategized and came up with an ambitious loop to circumnavigate Mt. Tahoma on bike and then climb it on foot. There were clusters of checkpoints on the circumnavigation that required us to climb a couple of other mountains. When it was said and done we climbed 6,400 ft. on our bikes.

We made it about 5/6 of the way through our loop and realized we were going to be cutting it short with time. In a rogaine missing your time cut off results in drastic time penalties so it is better in most cases to get back within the regulated time rather than squeaking in that last CP. We found an out on our route and climbed our way up and over a ridge and bombed back into the hash house with 3 minutes to spare. We learned our competition, team nuun-Feed the Machine (That's my team!), made up of Aaron Rinn and Aaron Matzke had already come in and were out on the course.

We quickly transitioned, re-organized our foot loop and headed out running all flats (There were none that I can remember), slight uphills and down hills and fast hiking the uphills. After it was all said and done we felt like we left some points on the table that we should have gotten but overall were happy with our effort. High fives all around the hash house when we came storming in and the anticipation built.

It turn out nuun-Feed the Machine cleared 1455 points and we eeked them out with 1465...totally amazing to be sooo close after 12 hours of racing and having two completely different point profiles/routes. More high fives, some coffee and off to warmth. Did I mention it was snowing at the high elevations? Here is a link to our bike route.

Not only was this a great race, but it was fun to see a lot of the other local teams and people out running around the woods. The Trioba-A team (we were the B team), Verve, Militant Hippies, Robin and Cliff, and many others...adventure on.

Trioba - 24 hour race Plain, WA

2009 Trioba has come and gone just like that...wow. We were scouting the area near Lake Wenatchee for a 24 hour race in October of 2008 and a year later we were able to throw together a course that was challenging, had some good navigation and was a real challenge to physically get through.

Overall it is tough to be on the other side of the start line, or the race director's side. What's different? Way more stress, you want everything to turn out smoothly and there are sooo many things that can go wrong. You sleep less in the day before and day after the race...and most importantly as a racer who was directing I just wanted to get out there and bike , run and paddle with everyone.

The midnight start was a hit and guaranteed that everyone would have a night in the dark, and probably 2 nights in the dark. This is pretty cool and packs an expedition feel into a 24 hour race. After a short bike to Lake Wenatchee we sent teams out on a night time paddle. This looked easy but turned into a fun navigational test where teams worked up a slough and had to find a hidden lake. After this teams tackled a monstrous climb up to Maverick Saddle and then hit the single track.

Upon arriving at the remote TA teams left for a 7-12 hour trek that tested their nav skills and was a good challenge. From there teams would climb another 1K feet on the bikes and then start dropping into the screaming singletrack descent. B19 was an aided CP where bikers could drop their trekking gear, warm up and get back on the trail a little lighter. From here we had a lot of checkpoints that were meant to keep teams on the single track to the finish line if they wanted to complete the full course.

In hindsight this turned out to be the only issue/blunder with the race...the USGS maps were not real indicative of the trail's route (we were definitely aware of the maps inefficiencies but were banking on the reflective tape to clue in teams on the flags), our reflective tape failed and a couple of flag placements were on very subtle or redundant features. This proved to be a real challenge and dictated some changes in the placements...This was tough to swallow, we wanted to be perfect and a couple of issues with these CP's put a small damper on that. We will take a lot away from what is still a success for our first 24 hour race and can rest assured we will not have to deal with that issue in the future.

Overall good times, I look forward to another year of scouting...not sure where next year will take us, but we have a lot of good options! Thanks to all the volunteers for making the race a success and good job to everyone that toed the line!

PQ Post Mortem

I am back into the swing of things in Seattle and have now had some time reflect on our epic adventure in South Dakota at Primal Quest...wow what a trip. I am by no means back to normal, my hands are constantly numb and my feet feel like some one hit them for the last week with a meat tenderizer. Each day I feel like I get an hour closer to making up my sleep deficit, and would estimate my current deficit at 20-30 hours. I consistently wake up in a hurry to get no where, I have an internal drive to tell Jen to hurry and get up because there is another team coming...then take a deep breath and go back to sleep.


Sleep is welcomed, but unfortunately all I can dream about at this point is paddling an inflatable kayak through 3" of water and not getting stuck in a mud flat. Ahhh, the pleasantries of a true expedition race.

I believe we officially finished 8th, but I can not tell as the leader board has not opened for me since I finished the race. I will not do an entire re-cap of the race as I am not sure I am capable, but I will mention the highlights:

-Black Hills Mountain biking and downhills on the Centennial Trail.


-Caving


-Ropes course

-Trekking through Custer National Park and seeing numerous Buffalo and Rattlesnakes

-Badlands Trekking and Thunder Storms

We spent a majority of our time competing for 3rd, 4th and 5th place. Took some risks near the end of the race by not sleeping in what we thought would be the last night, and the wheels came off the car. Two nights later we finished and all teams in our vicinity passed us with a chuckle. If you followed us on the Spot Tracker you most certainly wondered what in the world we were out there doing.?. Let me try and provide some perspective.

With 50 miles left in the last bicycle the maps made the course look like a straight forward bike home...not the case. As we exited a section of rails to trails (minus the trails, as they were not fully converted yet) it appeared we were to follow a proposed route, and we had been told before exiting the buses before the race that proposed routes should be treated as mandatory. As we began looking for the proposed route night fell and the prior night with no sleep and the 5 before that with a total of 8 hours began to catch up... we all turned into zombies and began going up and down the same ridge for 5-6 hours looking to each other for the answer. No answer was there except for the fact that we should have simply slept. Instead we night walked until the sun came up, watched Wedali (other team) solve the problem by bike whacking across the valley to where we needed to be.

Unfortunately we could not process the solution...or at least we began to but got stuck on the proposed route problem. The teams that were around us began to leave through the valley but none of them were following the proposed route, what would this lead to? Big penalties or little penalties. Cyril insisted that we go back down the mountain and follow the proposed route...so down the mountain we went again. It took us a while but we slowly moved back up on a close derivative to the proposed route only to realize we were out of food and water at 2:00pm and it was nearly 100 degrees. This was fun.

We pitched the sun shade and I made off to find some water that I had seen the night before. I had this beautiful little oasis in mind that had artisan well water, instead I found a puddle of slime water being held in puddle form by the mound of cow pies around it. I waded out into it and began filtering and treating water for the team...not mention making sure I got as much manure in my shoes and crammed into my blisters for the long trip home.

Soon enough the gang was up and we were off. Navigational confidence was low, but Cyril managed link together the route and get us out of the valley of the zombie walkers. We crested a hill and bombed down to gravel roads and civilization. Our new friend Tim closed in on us in his Lincoln navigator. Tim had been following us on the computer for days, had his wife stationed at home telling him our location and he was tracking us. As soon as we stopped on a road to inventory our gear Tim came ripping around the corner and said, "What the hell have you guys been doing over there?"

He was concerned for our health, had water and candy bars for us and was truly our trail angel. He had been helping all teams that came over the ridge and had been slowly waiting our arrival. Soon enough we felt almost normal to leave the comfortable company of Tim and push off for the finish line. Now we had 40 miles to go and we were ready for a bed. 12-15 miles later Cyril's shifting went to hell in a hand basket on a road that was filled with baby head rocks and had us carrying high speed to maintain a plane on the top of the rocks and moving fast. Cyril had his bike turned over and was looking at his derailleur when we all simultaneously noticed the snapped frame...doh! In between the rear shock mount and the front derailleur hanger, ouch.

We were at a point that we needed to bike whack again about .75 kilometer to another road for the final 30 miles in to the finish. We decided to do the bike whack and deal with the bike problem once we got there. We were again delirious and night had fallen again, time was flying we must have been having fun. Soon enough we arrived at the road and the way point and realized it was time to sleep. Along the way Cyril would fall asleep standing up, I would approach him and say, "Cyril lets go" and he would always respond by saying "where are we going?"

First I would say "The road"... "oh yeah."

Then I would say "basketball practice"... "I forgot my shoes."

"Dinner Party"..."can I go dressed like this?"

"New York"... "Good I'm hungry and they have good restaurants there"

on and on our banter went, made us all laugh a little.

Once we hit the road we crashed in a ditch about 100 meters from the way point. Our alarms all went off at 3:00am and we got up and started to get ready, soon enough we all came to the realization that we were in adventure mode and were just trying to get to the finish line before the course closed in 24 hours. 4 people, 3 working bikes, 30 miles and 24 hours...we could do this. Back to sleep and we would deal with this in the morning, our little roadside ditch was comfy.

I woke at 7:00 am and began to devise our plan. Cyril would ride my handlebars or sit on my seat so I could stand and pedal, Aaron would carry Cyril's bike on his back with the use of some tubes as a harness and Tessa could carry his pack. At 8:00 I woke the crew and started telling them what needed to be done. Soon enough a caravan of townies and race peeps joined us on the roadside with the guidance of the SPOT tracker. They all had their Coffee's and Pastries and wanted to know what our problem was...One rental bike later and we were off to the finish line.

8.5 days and my longest race ever later and I am happy to say I had a great time and that South Dakota exceeded my expectations in many ways. Despite our performance and poor placing I believe it is experiences like these that add character and put things in perspective...the next time I'm having a bad day I'll think back and remind myself that it could be worse and anything is possible when you put your mind to it...

off to Primal Quest 2009...

It has all come together and we are getting excited to get to South Dakota and have a fun and exciting race. Cyril, Aaron, Tessa and myself will be making the team up this year. The last month has been filled with trainings galore...including the following races

-Cascade Cream Puff
-Peterisoba
-Lake Tahoe Big Blue 24 hour race

I found out it was going to cost me an additional $800 to get my bike box and a bin to Rapid City on Delta Airlines so I've decided to drive. Considering the flight cost me $250, seems a bit unreasonable. I am officially boycotting Delta, until I use what ever credit they give me for cancelling my flight...how much would it have cost to ship golf clubs, or oversized golf clubs...$0.

Cyril just sent out the sponsor email below, I thought I would include it as it has good info and some interesting links in there.
*****************************************************************
Dear Sponsors, family, friends, and media;

The team is about to embark on an amazing journey through the Badlands of South Dakota as part of the mighty Primal Quest (www.ecoprimalquest.com) called “The World’s Most Challenging Human Endurance Competition.” See below for a brief description of this incredible race which is sure to make you exhausted just reading about it.

Our team profile can be found at: http://team4.ecoprimalquest.com/

You can follow the up to the minute action on the leaderboard and race map as teams will be wearing the SPOT GPS tracking devices (device only emits signal for tracking and emergencies but teams can not use the system to navigate). This year teams will also have a profile on SPOT’s new online social community providing additional team profile information and individual team tracking history allowing viewers to monitor their favorite team in real-time. Ours can be found at: http://www.spotadventures.com/user/profile?user_id=45794

As a lead up to Primal Quest, we’ve been posting training and preparation blog entries on Adventure World Magazine’s website. We will continue to do so up to race start and afterwards. Here are a few of our latest postings:

http://www.adventureworldmagazineonline.com/news/primal-quest-training-in-the-mountains-bring-on-the-elevation/

nuun is the hydration drink sponsor of Primal Quest so all teams will receive tubes of nuun at the start of the race and nuun will be available at all transition areas where teams will change disciplines. In addition to team nuun-FeedTheMachine, a few other nuun sponsored teams will be on hand including team iMoat, Five Ten / Numa, and Tecnu Extreme/Staphaseptic Adventure Racing.

Some fast notable teams to watch this year include the World Champions Orion Health, the young guns of Salomon/Crested Butte, the experienced Merrell/Zanfel Adventure, and the astute team of Bones. There are plenty more great teams competing this year and given the unpredictable nature of adventure racing, many other teams can pull an upset. nuun-FeedTheMachine finished 4th last year and we hope to even better this year.

To get a sense of Primal Quest, visit our 2008 photo galleries at: http://dartadventure.com/index.php/gallery

The race is sure to be intense to compete in and exciting to watch. If you intend to watch, send us some good vibes - we’ll need them.

Keep Exploring,
Cyril

Brief Description of Primal Quest
The race will be held from August 14 to August 23, 2009 where international co-ed teams of 4 will compete unsupported for 600 miles (965+KM) through the remote wilderness of South Dakota’s Black Hills and Badlands. The race is non-stop and requires all members to race together. If one quits, all fail. Sleeping is optional so teams trying to win push the envelop and will only sleep 2-4 hours/night out in the wilderness. Primal Quest is the longest human-powered, multi-discipline, multi-day event of its kind in the world. The demands of traditional adventure racing disciplines are represented; trekking, mountain biking, orienteering, swimming, and paddling but this year’s race will require more navigation (the entire course requires teams to navigate with map and compass. GPS are not permitted), climbing and rappelling and even cave spelunking under the Black Hills. Along the way competitors will race through lands where dinosaurs once roamed, run in the footsteps of Native American Tribes, passing herds of wild buffalo and navigate through endless towering spires, rock faces and waterways.

Peterisoba

My schedule finally aligned itself with the annual race known as the Peterisoba...which follows suit with the Colinoba as an underground adventure race which costs nothing and gets you racing in un-permittable areas in our backyard (follow tie in with Trioba). Peteris out did himself with a 12 hour Creekteering, challenging Mountain Bike, rapel, ridge running and boulder hopping course followed by a 12 hour rogaine.

23 hours later my trusty team mate Aaron and I found ourselves in a baja rally car with Peteris behind the wheel. He exclaimed in his Latvian English that he could drive this road blindfolded and that if he had a real rally car we would have a better excuse for holding onto the Oh Shit handle. We also got the details of the traffic patterns on the North Fork road and that we could be assured that cornering on the inside of a blind turn at 45 mph was ok because in the last year only 3 cars had been seen between 4 and 5 am...did you know Peteris knows how to drift on washboarded logging roads?

In the end we climbed, ran, walked, slept and boulder hopped our way through the course and got to see a bunch of friends out there doing the same thing. I wrote another report here for our teams PQ training, check it out if you want more...big THANKS to Peteris and other volunteers for including us and having a well planned course. I am now considering PQ training for next years Peterisoba.

Cascade Cream Puff 2009

Wow, another whirlwind year at the Puff...this year the temperatures held off but the skies opened up with a light drizzle all day and we traded overheating with sloppy trails and nice comfortable mist. 11 hours and 49 minutes of from start to finish and I was happy to scrub almost all the poison oak off with Tecnu and get the race fee included massage at the end.


I raced this year with Aaron, JVG, Hayes and Brent from seattle and we had a blast. When it was all said and done I had 3 less spokes, a severely bent deraillure hanger, a snapped granny limit screw and a sliced front deraillure cable and housing...it was war out there. I was happy to cross the finish line with my 3 working gears and a smile on my face. No nap this year and an improvement on my time, I think the cooler temps helped out. Next year I hope to improve once again.


Here is a link to the CCP pictures...there are some good ones out there. As well as a link to the results.

Tahoe in July

We made a trip to Tahoe to hang with Grams and Gramps and do some high altitude training with the benefit of some endurance babysitting. We were able to rent some high end bikes and tour all of the North Shore...Saturday was a long exciting day that had us on trails between Truckee, Tahoe City and Brockway Summitt. We finally found 2 Beavers and a Bear and 2 bridges, I've been hearing about hem for a couple of summers but have missed the turn off of Sawtooth for too long.

We are excited to be heading back down to Tahoe in early August to compete in the Big Blue 24 hour race...In the meantime a couple of us competed in the Cascade Cream Puff the following weekend, hope to get some pictures published soon.

Mt Stuart...4th of July 2009

This past 4th of July weekend had superb weather and was filled with all sorts of good times. We intended on running the PCT from Stevens pass to Snoqualmie pass...Glenn sent me this note on Thursday...

***********************
Talked to the snoqualmie ranger station. still snow in some avalanche shoots. They went up to kendal catwalk and didn't go beyond because they didn't have their ice axes. the skykomish ranger said snow above 4k and there will be intermiten snow the whole way. If we do this we would need to bring ice axes and maybe katoolals and maybe my 6mm line that RVg has. Last weekend I met a guy up on stevens who had hiked down from canada and was continuing on south so there will have been at least one who has tried it.
***********************

We opted out and chose to head East to Mt. Stuart on Friday and see if we could get up the mountain. Tell of the trail was 10 hours round trip from the car with 1.5 hours on the top. We traveled with crampons, Ice Axe, 30 meters of 6mm rope, helmets and the 10 essentials (lightweight version).

2009 July - Mt Stuart

Good times, Saturday I did a recover ride as my legs were hammered and Sunday JVG, Aaron and I rode Tiger and added on some bonus climbs as well as a new trail that punished me. My front brake went out while dropping into a very steep descent. I slid of the trail into the forest where I hit a downed tree and taco'ed my front wheel. After 20 minutes of Aaron and I jumping on my wheel to make it rideable we hiked back to the road and descended to the parking lot, with a mere flesh wound :-) We also paddled around Lake Samamish to round out the weekend and enjoy the sun. AWESOME weekend.

June 2009

Quick update...DART was going to send a last minute kick ass team of our 3 ladies and Glenn to the expedition race in Alberta Canada, The Best of the West, but had to pull the plug at the last moment. Looks like Jen will be joining me in Tahoe for an extended weekend of training and hanging out

The Yukon River Quest started today. Local superstars Eric Abraham and Robin Smith are racing in a tandem kayak, go gettum fellas!

Missy the missle found herself in trouble, bad news...hope it ends up all good.

Training on the I-90 corridor

Trioba

Trioba CP (photo: Mike Bitton)

The Trioba Sprint has come and passed and was a success from a race directors standpoint. It was quite an experience from this side of the table and was very rewarding to see local teams of all caliber out there on a rugged and challenging course giving it their all! Props to everyone who toed the starting line. As well we need to thank our race sponsors with a special thanks to the Outdoor Adventure Center and Wave Trek for a great time on the river and at the post race party!

A couple of links to Stories and racer pics from the course:

-Mike Bitton's shots

-Jerry G's Shots

-Colin N's Shots

I'll post more as I get them... now on to updating the website with results.

The Michigan Expedition Race

The Michagin Expedition race is in Day two and nuun-Feed the Machine (DART) is in first place and all notes seem to be indicating that they look strong and are having a good race...Checkpoint Zero has good coverage and the Checkpoint Tracker is proving itself as a good way to deliver real time race news to the masses.

Last ime I checked the team comprised of: Mari Chandler, Matt hayes, Glenn Rogers and Brian Schmitz had cleared the O course and CP16 . The course is comprised of 26 Checkpoints...we might see a finish tomorrow. Go team go!

************************************************

Real late update...team crossed the finish line in First to snag the first victory for nuun-Feed the Machine on 2009. Well done team!

May Showers bring more May Showers

We are still caught up in the ice age known as Spring here in the Pacific Northwest...rain, rain and more rain. Desert Winds was a nice refuge from the cold temperatures and a great race. I made a slew of navigational errors that cost us heavily in the results department but overall we had a blast. The highlights for me was swimming in the canyons and being able to bike throughout the night in shorts and a jersey...simple pleasures. It was also nice that my ankle survived a 24 hour race without issues.

Here are the pics:

Desert Winds

Couple of other random thoughts:
Beast Race coming up tomorrow...get out there if you are not already planning on doing so.

Check out this awesome video Matt posted on his blog.

Vetted the Trioba 6-12 hour race course last weekend near Index...This race is going to be sweet.

heading to Norway next week to hike some Fjords and do some surfing ;-)

Where did March go?

Lots of changes through March...

The foot's on the mend and I have been able to hit the trails again, phew. Things are looking up and preparation for the Desert Winds is coming along. Looks like there is no paddling in this years race and it will be biking, running, canyoneering and swimming. The latter being my least favorite, but I think we have the set up dialed.

A quote from an email I saw from race director Robert Finlay," This year's race - is probably the physically hardest race that I've yet to put together. For one thing, the mtbiking is arduous! For another, the optional loops of the course will work the faster teams!"


We went down to hood river a couple of weekends ago and participated in the Gorge Winds II underground race. Jen and I relayed with our team so we could hand off and take turns watching jaden. It was basically the VIP tour of all the waterfalls in the columbia River Gorge. Thanks for taking the time to map such a sweet course Dave!

See you on the trails...

Out, but not down...

I'm addicted to fast paced team sports...its kind of funny that I ended up getting caught up in Adventure Racing as most of the time the fast part seems to elude me. Anyways, I can't get enough of my Basketball, Soccer and other high intensity team sports. After years of my team mates telling me that I was going to shoot my eye out, I mean injur myself, it finally happened. I partially tore some ligaments in my right ankle after coming down on someone's foot moving very fast. A big pop echoed in the gym and I hit the floor.

I got the plaster cast, was hoping JVG would draw a hart on it and sign it, then graduated to the plastic boot and I am again mobile but not moving fast. Since then I have officially retired from hoops and I've asked the Washington Athletic Club to hang my jersey from the rafters but they will most likely not honor my request, I might just throw an old dirty one up there for kicks.

In the mean time I am appreciating the finer things, like TV, college basketball games, my social life and lots of quality time with the family. Glenn likes to hear that I spend some time on helping with Trioba, that's happening as well.

Until the next time...I'll be icing and elevating.

Pumping Iron

Early in the year we spend a lot of time adding base miles with bike rides, long runs and paddles. The gang paddled around Camano Island yesterday, nearly 40 miles. Along with adding base it's time to work on strength and core. It has been just about a year since I started working out seriously in the Gym and it has paid dividends. I've been spending a lot of time at the Washington Athletic Club lately...with bad snow conditions and bone chilling weather outside I have been driven inside a bit more than I would normally like, which isn't such a bad thing.

I generally add a bit of weight early in the year and then shed it as my aerobic workouts grow and intensity picks up. This year is not going to be much different, but I would like to focus on running a bit more. A couple more trail races and another ultra would be fun ;-)

Trioba Site is Live and Updated!

Check out Trioba.com ...Well its been live for a bit, but it is updated with the 2009 racing details. Get over there and check it out! The sprint will have white water rafting...going to be sweet! The 24 will be loaded with epic singletrack and some tough nav.

Bitton does Abu-Dhabi Adventure Challenge

Our friend from around the world and right next door in Vancouver, Washington has posted a write up and a nice montage of photos to Wend Magazine. Thought I would show the world and let everyone know it was out there to view...happy reading.

Nice work Mikey! Seems like just yesterday we were smoking a hooka, talking about camel spiders and messed up feet on desert runs while looking out over the Persian Gulf. Well we weren't really smoking a hooka, I just thought it sounded good. They did have a hooka station for athletes each night in between stages, but for some reason the athletes did not spend a lot of their time relaxing with a fine grape tobacco hooka session.

and so it begins...2009

Well, I'm oficially off of my blogging hiatus and back into training. '08 was an incredible year and I experienced a blessing in the birth of Jaden and had fun out on the race course and exploring the world with my friends.

This year there are a lot of things in the hopper... Here is what comes to mind:

-Cascade Cream Puff, just sent JVG and my registration in for the '09 race in Oakridge

-Costa Rica AR in April

-Production of Trioba races

-PQ

-Worlds in Portugal

-Desert Winds

-Adventure Week in Courdelaine(sp?)

-Trip to Norway

Skies the limit! So in the near term look for me and my trusty companions on a body of water, field of snow, gym bench, bike seat or running trail near you :-)
