**Support Team Member Wanted**
Team Runs with Scissors (www.teamrunswithscissors.blogpost.com)is
preparing for the June 9th New England Adventure Racing Series 12
Hour adventure race at Mount Snow.
This race requires each team to have at least one (but not more than
3) support team members--and we're looking for one!
The team member responsible for support has the critical
responsibility of ensuring that gear and supplies are at various
transition areas (TA) throughout the race. They also monitor the
activity of other teams at the TA -- when they come in, how long they
stay, what gear they take, their condition, things they say, strategy
discussed, which way they go when they leave -- essentially gathering
any information the team can use.
Getting the gear to the TA often requires reading maps and directions
provided by race officials. Occasionally, race organizers will not
provide direction and instead will mark a map and expect the support
team to find it--as an added challenge to the race.
If you're interested and willing, TRWS will provide your
transportation to, from and during the race as well as lodging--we'll
probably be camping. Please let us know if your interested and
available, it's a great introduction to adventure racing and you'd be
in on the action. You might also have the opportunity to hang with a
few of the team members from the USARA national champion team Eastern
Mountain Sports. AND, we are a LOT of fun! (If you like beer, you'll
like us.)
Here's the team's tentative race itinerary:
Friday Afternoon/Evening:
+ Departure from Waterbury Area (Time TBD -- It's 2.5 hrs to West
Dover, VT)
+ Team/Gear Check-In and Pre-Race Briefings (Times TBD)
Saturday:
+ Approx. 5:00 a.m. Pre-Race Prep
+ 6:00 a.m. Race Start
+ 7:00 p.m. Post-Race Dinner and Awards
Sunday Morning:
+ Return to Waterbury Area (Time TBD)
Please let us know if you're interested and thanks for your
consideration!
Many thanks,
Jason
