KB and I (The Ice Dog) will be representing STR as the Dynamic Duo August 18th at the Infiterra Sports Summer Quest Adventure Race held at Stony Creek Metro Park. The race is a 4-6 hour sprint race similar to the Spring Adventure Challenge that Ralph (The Dominator) and I placed 15th out of 50 teams this spring. This race will add fixed ropes as an additional discipline. The race is for all skill levels and if anyone else is interested in forming a team more information can be found at www.infiterrasports.com. STR rolls on!

Adventure Race Blow Out

Thanks to all our fans out there. I just want to say it was Ralph who had the blow out. It happen just as we crossed the finish line. It was worth it as we passed a team in our division with 25 feet to go. The $50 gift card to Gazelle sports was a nice bonus too.

*Spare Tire does not recommend vomiting as a form of weight loss.

5th/3rd River Bank Run-25K

May 12, 2007

It was a beautiful day for the 30th River Bank Run. I am proud to say Shawn and I posted times under the 2:30 mark. Shawn, and his wife Kim (owner of KB Orienteering Supplies), ran a solid 2:24, and I had a PR with a 2:29. This was a great training run for both of us. Shawn is getting ready for his first marathon with his wife this fall, and I am on the road to Lake Placid for my second Ironman.

GRAAR-Spring Challenge Adventure Race

May 5th 2007

This was the race where Spare Tire Racing all began. We did not know what to expect as first time adventure racers, but we Dominated the course. We ran, well jogged, a near perfect race. There were a few control points we ran by, a few trees that were in the way on the mountain bike portion, and some questionable paddling skills. But we finished strong and "left it all on the course". Spare Tire just missed a podium finish, but one member did win an award for being the only one to puke.
