Expedition Adventure racing is about three things:
A penchant for extreme suffering
A penchant for perserverance against all odds
Teamwork
It is about being good at a lot of things and not being great at anything. No amount of pre-planning has ever led to us having a smooth race. We just expect things to go in an unexpected direction. This kind of thinking makes life in general a little bit easier too. So whether we are lost in the middle of the Australian outback with no food or water, stranded with no headlamps on top of a desert spire as the sun sets, or the Peace Love Car runs out of gas in Nowhere, Wyoming...someone will inevitably say with a smile, "It's just adventure race training".
