I just made it back home to Switzerland after a great Summer in New England.  Hopefully the Swiss Alps will give us some good weather in the weeks to come so I can enjoy some of the terrain back here, too.  This blog was low on the priority list while I was away, with other outlets... [More]

There's so much going on with Untamed New England right now, it's hard for me to remember exactly what is -- and what isn't -- public knowledge.  Some details aren't meant to be so secret at this point, they just haven't been officially shared via the race website or the C... [More]

This is the weekend for Ontario, Canada's Wilderness Traverse race and I submitted an AR World Series focused piece to Adventure World earlier this morning.  I can be a bit more partisan with my material here, so let me start with a hearty "Go Team Untamed New England!" I ... [More]
