Triangle Adventure Racing Team

Some of the boys travelled to Pisgah for the May 2nd PMBAR race held in Brevard NC.  Covering a wide expanse of the Pisgah National Forest teams of two tackled the singletrack and gravel roads in the area while navigating to a series of checkpoints scattered throughout the forest.  Leading the charge was the duo of Charlie Roberts and Ernie Chilcott finishing on the prestigious “white board” in 21st overall.  More important that their finish time and place was their taking the killer 5th checkpoint.    With only four required, very few teams risk or are willing to tackle the extras that are routinely part of this race.  Dragging into the finish with a mere mortal four checkpoints was Bruce Dale and his teammate Innes Wright in just under 11 hours, also good enough to put triangle-ar on the white board again!   For a couple of lads with a combined age of 90, a not too shabby result.   Clearly race director Eric Weaver put an emphasis on stepping the race up and this years offering proved to be the longest by approximately an hour of anyones recent memory. …..of course you know us endurance addicts have a very short memory when it comes to suffering!
