Dynamic Duo Debut
The Dynamic Duo ( Shawn "The Ice Dog" and Kimmy B from KB orienteering supplies) will be representing Spare Tire in the 2007 Summer Quest Sprint Adventure Race. Kimmy B will be putting on the STR jersey for the first time. The 4-6 hour race takes place at Stoney Creek metro park on August 18th. The Dynamic Duo will have to trail run and orienteer 4-7 miles, Canoe 3-5 miles and mountain bike 10-15 miles. The course will be no easy task, but the Dynamic Duo are in great shape with months of marathon training under their belts. I just hope their marriage survives the canoe leg of the race. Best of luck to you guys. Have a great race. We can't wait for the post race report.

The canoe portion will be a test, that's for sure. I think I've paddled once in my life. However, its the promise of "full on open water swimming" and stinging nettles that might be the biggest challenge to the team. Thanks for the positive thoughts, we'll need them!
Thanks Dominator. It will not be the same without you. But, KB and I will try and do STR proud. We spent last night going through our gear list and appear ready to go. Clearing the gear checklist was not small feat; due to a lost reservation we were without a canoe on Wednesday (there is a much longer story here). Learning from our last race, we will have kayak paddles for canoeing…not that it will make a difference, since I can’t hold a line when canoeing to save my life!
STR ROLLS ON!
Best of luck to Ig and KB - the Dynamic Duo will do STR proud! KB has put up with enough from Ig over the years, I'm sure she'll just swat him with the paddle if he gets out of line...or can't keep a straight line for that matter. JUST DOMINATE!
