When it comes to the "thinking" races like these, you do ultimately have to let one person be the leader. But the leader needs to also respect the opinions of his teammates as well. It works well for us, because due to his life experience, Dave is SO much better at navigation than I. Therefore, it's easy for me to defer to him. If he had less/I had more navigational skills the dynamic might be a bit different, admittedly. .The Riding Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14422901488817476568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362485112382667694.post-4130129954143267112013-08-31T19:55:11.959-04:002013-08-31T19:55:11.959-04:00I was really able to tell your husband had lost we...I was really able to tell your husband had lost weight between the races. (considering I am burning through you entries in a couple days. It was REALLY obvious.) I really think my husband and I would LOVE this. We did a 1/4 marathon winter night time trail run in Jan 2012. Lots of cooperation and encouragement were needed. And I think we came out stronger for it.

We started racing about 2 years ago and have been racing the elites full time for a little over a year. It's a blast. I know a "12 HOUR RACE" sounds totally daunting but try a 6 first(scary enough, right?) and see how you like it. It's been absolutely the right decision for us. As fun and satisfying as the Sport races are, its even more so to get across the finish line in the longer events. Before you know it, you'll be looking forward to the summer and the 12 hour Nocturnal Challenge ;) Either way, keep up the good work!<br /><br />Bill Dean (We Blame Javan) Bill Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829700899592905614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362485112382667694.post-44995399175830505742012-10-26T13:42:14.777-04:002012-10-26T13:42:14.777-04:00Keep killin' it punks.
