Inaugural Post

Yesterday marked the more-or-less-official inception of our team for the "International Éco Endurance Aventure 2008," (English translation: International Eco Endurance Adventure 2008), also now known as the Coast Raid. We (myself, Denali, James, and Tess) be competing this August 21-24, as we mountain bike, canoe, kayak, trek, orienteer, climb, rappel, swim, and just plain run our way across 180 miles of some of the roughest terrain Canada has to offer on the Labrador coast.

The aim of this blog is to chronicle our adventure of preparing for, getting to, participating in, and recovering from the race in August. We are planning to have a grand old time and meet lots of crazy people along the way. We are even planning to do a little bit of training as well. In the next post we'll have biographies for each of us, and eventually we'll have each team member contributing their own thoughts and perspective on the race and our preparations from each of our far-flung outposts this summer.

YOU HAVE A BLOG!

I love you all. Also, am now able to stalk you all. Wish I could do the race with you! I expect many updates and also hopefully to be involved in some shenanigans while you train :)

ps. Where is James' bio? Andy, you're not really doing work instead, are you?
