I have watched a lot of adventure racers lose races they were fit enough to win. Not on a climb, not on a navigation leg, but in the quiet minutes between disciplines, standing beside a pile of gear, trying to remember where they put their helmet. Transitions feel like downtime. They are not. They are part of the race, and in a short event like the Spring Equinox Triathlon (or a traditional adventure race, even), where the whole thing is run, bike, ski, they can decide your d

I've watched hundreds of first-time adventure racers stand at the start line with a map in their hands like it's a parking ticket they're about to throw away. They stuff it in a pocket, follow the crowd, and then wonder why they're standing in the wrong valley twenty minutes later while the leaders are already punching checkpoint two. Here's the truth about navigation in adventure racing: it isn't a bonus skill. It's the skill. The fastest runner in the field loses to the ave

Every October, I hear the same things from people who are curious about the Spring Equinox Triathlon but haven't clicked register yet. I hear them at trail runs, at coffee shops, in my DMs. And honestly, most of them are myths. So before early-bird pricing ends on November 1, let me take a run at the five big ones. **Myth 1: "You have to be a great skier."** This is the number one thing holding people back, so let's kill it first. The ski leg of a winter triathlon is short, t

Team Subaru Expedition Canada just finished 5th at the Adventure Racing World Championship in Corsica. Let that sink in. Fifth. In the world. The first team from outside Europe to cross the finish line, ahead of dozens of full-time professional European squads, in a 500-kilometre, six-plus-day sufferfest across mountains, canyons, and coastline with no GPS and nothing but paper maps and tired brains. I have been thinking about how they did it, because the number alone does no

We’ve all been there — staring at an opportunity and hovering right on the edge of commitment. Taking part in a race or event sounds exciting, inspiring, energizing… yet something holds us back. Maybe it’s the fear of not being “ready.” Maybe it’s the question of whether life is too busy. Or maybe it’s simply that familiar voice that whispers, “Maybe next time.” But here’s the truth: the growth you’re looking for doesn’t come from comfort. It comes from action — from saying y

The Power of Teamwork in Adventure Racing There were moments when each of us wanted to stop, but none of us quit. Our bodies stayed strong most of the way, but the challenges came in different forms for everyone: the endless climbs, the bike sections, and the cold water crossings. Whenever one person hit a wall, the others helped pull them through. That is what a team does! Facing the Elements There were times we were absolutely freezing. Our hands felt too numb to open food
