    Hey, David and all. I've done a couple of races and will be needing a partner. I'm in okay shape but can navigate well (Taught Land Navigation in the Marine Corps and Marine Reserves). I'm also training for the Bataan Memorial Death March in a few weeks (March 21). Is there anyone out there who needs a partner? Thanks. -Joel

    Great Race today David--thanks for setting it up--it was also great to see some familiar faces and some new friends that are interested in AR. All in all a great day. Happy Easter everyone.

    Vernon and I truely enjoy this event. We loved how friendly everyone was especially, but also enjoyed looking for checkpoints in such a nice location (so nice we also picked that spot for our wedding). The event added another dimension to running and biking. We are looking forward to giving this a try in the future.

    I had a great time. I only wish I'd been in better shape and had prepped a little better. I learned a few things and tricks. Good job, David and all who helped to make this race a success. I'm looking forward to Cochiti Lake.

    This was a great course that Dave setup for us. It was nice to be able to race with Steve, an AR pro, because I was able to learn a lot!

    Good turnout, good straight forward course--definitely a good Race #1 for the season to get people use to the AR details and gain some confidence. As always the people and the atmosphere was great.

    Awesome first race of the season! I liked the orienteering section and the ride and tie. Thanks to Dave for being very creative in the course design and to Sports Systems for sponsorship.

    Dave did a great job of setting up the race! Lots of fun. My teammate Justin did a fantastic job in his first AR.

    We had no idea what to expect, but my race partner and I both had a blast. The race was very well organized and the events were challenging and fun. We made a few mistakes during the bike portion of the race (lack of strategy) so we will learn from that and be more prepared for the next one.
