Tentative Team Schedule for 2009

It's always hard to return from a race induced high especially with an injury nagging at your recovery training. I have been diagnosed with Plica Syndrome, which is an irritation to tissue surrounding the synovial capsule of the knee. I start PT asap and hopefully will be on my way to recovery within 4-6 weeks. Hopefully I will not need surgery!

Even with the immediate rehab program, I am projecting a pretty challenging race schedule for the coming season. It tentatively looks like:

• Bonk Hard Chill 12hr AR (February 7th) - MO
• Lake Ray Roberts 12hr AR (March 7th) - TX "Q"
• Land Between the Lakes 24hr AR (April 4-5) - TN/KY "Q"
• Mission 18hr AR (May 15-16) - IN/KY "Q"
• Dusk-2-Dawn 8hr AR (July 18-19) - KS
• Berryman 36hr AR (September 25-27) - MO "Q"
• Texspedition 3day AR (September 25-28) - TX
• Golite USARA National Championships (October 22-24th?) -TX?
• Lewis & Clark 18hr (November TBD) - AR

"Q" - National Qualifier

This, of course, is subject to change due to team availability, injury, and subsequent race additions and does not include any of the trail runs/races, orienteering meets, or MTB events we may participate in collectively or individually. I hope we can count on continued support of our 2008 sponsors and eagerly anticipate more racers and supporters in the coming year!
