warming up

"Seek and Enjoy"...it's a play on the classic "seek and destroy". But happier and It fits our "mission statement" as a collective of endurance athletes. We are all gearing up for the season to start, pound our legs, and race our face's off. Racing and training is what we love. Spending time in the Colorado mountains is truly a gift.

Here is a quick snapshot on what we are all gearing up for. WILL KELSAY, PATRICK VALENTINE, and JASON MICHALAK are all hard at work getting ready for the XTERRA pro national tour. Most will kick of the season at XTERRA Las Vegas. TRAPPER STIENLE is piling on the bike miles whenever possible (after just having their second kid!) and gearing up for a solid summer of mt endurance racing. Look for him at Leadville as well as the RME races. JASON HILGERS and SEAN FEY have teamed up to tackle the uber tough BRECK EPIC later this summer. They will be both be racing a solid mix of mtb races, xterra , and endurance events in preperation for the big show. Keep and eye out for JASON MICHALAK and LUKE JAY as they tackle the tough AZT300 in arizona starting april 18th...its a 300 mile self supported mtb race along the AZ border.

24hrs of old Pueblo

So our mountain man member Jason Michalak has been busy down in Arizona. He wrapped up racing the 24hrs of old Pueblo yesterday (sunday). He raced solo with no support crew! He made his own adventure by suffering through a very tough race. He kept it clean, consistent, and strong from start to finish and pulled out a very impressive 3RD PLACE in the solo male division riding 18 laps! I talked to him after his impressive podium and he quickly informed he was treating himself to a hotel, shower and ordering a pizza. Stay tuned for a full race report and recap.

 

seek and enjoy

Here at the adrenaline project we love to mix it up...two of our team members are doing just that.
Will Kelsay just competed in the dirty dozen 12hr mtb race and Jason Michalak recently tried his hand at some fat bike racing in Crested Butte. Out of the people that I know and love  (and don't love) I will say these two guys love racing no matter what it is. 100 miles or a 5k...they are down to suffer. A couple years ago we called Will last minute to come race with us during the adventure racing national championships. He got back from Xterra worlds the day before....drove to Moab...slept 3 hrs...and then raced his face off for 26hrs with us, and was pretty much stoked the whole time! He did fall asleep once on his bike but luckily i was "towing" him so he didn't even crash. Jason is the hairy beast that doesn't shave (like most endurance geeks) but will crush people...he loves being in the mountains and will literally giggle with little girl excitement at any cool race or adventure. He is always hatching plans for crazy epic rides and runs. Keep it up dudes and thanks for kicking off 2013 proper.
