What a BEAST!!??!!

So about three months ago I started an Adventure Race Team with Eric Bone. MerGeo.com is sponsored by his and Terry Farrah's company, Meridian Geographis, and to make some moola for races to come Eric suggested organizing some midweek evening adventure races.. I thought the idea was quite cooky but then again I had no better one and so I agreed to help him with it... doing course checking, registration and marketing.... really did not think it was going to go anywhere... boy was I wrong... its called Barebones Evening Adventure Sprint Tournament (BEAST).

The first BEAST race was held out at High Point Way by Tiger and took racers up grand ridge on single track with their bikes, over the hill back down to Lake Sammamish State Park, where they would Orienteer at the park and eventually via trails and roads bike back to the finish.
Bruce McAlister was responsible for food and cooked up a storm, and 42 racers showed up to race in a fun, furious, fast (Eric's BEAST Slogan) Adventure Race.

Glen Rogers from DART won, a few minutes before Ben Hall and several other close competitors, and everyone seemed to have had a blast... Team Missing Link came in pretty fast too and they all stayed around until the very end (11pm) when Sabina, Heather and Shannon crossed the finish line and we called it a night, a very successful one.. everyone voved to come back...


Tataaa! Glen is da man!


Lotsa people coming in...
