This past weekend, Team YogaSlackers faced off against 2008 Adventure Racing National Champions, DART-Nuun/Sport-Multi. The YogaSlackers only non-1st place finishes this year have come at the hand of DART-Nuun, and so the energy was high. Daniel, Chels, and Jason pushed hard for 26 hours, racing a near flawless race to finally beat their AR idols...
It was the first time the YogaSlackers had beaten a national champion team, and hopefully not the last. The members of DART were a bit shocked, but thrilled to have such good competition. And to think - The team that is now YogaSlackers started right here in North Dakota...and used to be called "the North Dakota Nobodies". That was over 75 races ago....
Now - SPONSORS! We've been blessed again this year, with more support than ever. Great prizes from Ergon, Ellsworth, Ibex, Numa, Prana, Stuffits, Inov-8 - basically ALL the sponsors of the YogaSlackers team have offered to support this race! From grips to packs to unbreakable sunglasses to cash - you'll be racing for lots of great stuff!
And with Nuun to hydrate you, Tanka Bar and Power to Go Energy trail mix as fuel - there is no excuse to go slow....so get in those last few training days, bond with your team, and get ready to live.
