Hello all! We wanted to be sure you knew about this year's Bitter
Pill, and that the early registration deadline is June 22nd - this
Friday! Be sure to register soon if you want the discount.

This year's race is shaping up to be another great one. This past
weekend during some final course design we bushwhacked out to a pretty
amazing spot. This is *not* just an off-road triathlon, so brush up
on those nav skills - we're putting you *deep* in the middle of
nowhere, and you'll love it! (Or hate it. Maybe both.) If you've
competed in other races but not ours, you may be surprised by how
off-trail you can get here in Vermont.

Here are the details:

Green Mountain Adventure Racing Association wants to show you what
Vermont outdoors is really all about. Challenge yourself to one of
the toughest, wildest, muddiest 12-hour races anywhere. Past years
have seen everything from pouring rain and swollen rivers to baking
heat. Accelerated cutoffs mean even beginners can finish with the
pack and have a great time. Luckily, our course designers make it
their mission to get you lost and damaged - if you don't want to work
for it, are you sure you're in the right sport?

What: Trekking, swimming, canoeing, mt biking, navigation
When: 12 hours, Saturday, August 4th, 2007
Who: Teams of 2 or 3, coed or single-sex.
Cost: $240 for 2, $330 for 3 - $20 discount per GMARA member. Price
increases June 22, so register soon!

As always, we'll be holding a navigation clinic at registration the
night before and don't forget our famous post-race party: food, drink,
massages, hottub, and prizes prizes prizes!
