2010 has been an outstanding year for the Dirty Avocados. While we didn’t race as much as we had in previous years, what we gave up in quantity we made up in quality.
We started the season by traveling to North Queensland Australia and raced the XPD - Caines. 9 days of extremely challenging racing from the Great Barrier Reef, through the jungle and into the Outback. We finished 13th out of 47 teams in this World Championship qualifier.
Over the summer we raced in several local races including the Tahoe Big Blue 24 hour, Folsom and Red Tail and the Gold Rush 24 hour races.
Brian returned to New Hampshire for Untamed New England, raced in West Virgina at the E-fix and finished the season with the checkpoint Tracker National championship in Moab, racing with Tencu Extreme.
We concluded the season with the 5 day Desert Winds, racing through the Mojave Desert. Through perseverance and teamwork we finished 4th.
As the season winds down we are already planning our 2011 season. Stay tune as we look forward to more great adventures.

What is adventure racing? Adventure racing is a combination of two or more
disciplines, including orienteering and navigation, cross-country
running, mountain biking, paddling and climbing and related rope
skills. An expedition event can span ten days or more while sprints
can be completed in a matter of hours. Typically there is no “dark
period” during races, regardless of their length – the
choice when (and if) to rest is left to the competitors.
Adventure racing is classically a co-ed team sport. Nonetheless, many races now
permit "teams" of 1 to 5 persons, single-sex or co-ed, and sometimes
include age-based categories.
