Hello all! We wanted to be sure you knew about this year's Bitter
Pill, and that the final day to register is this Monday, July 30th!
The course is complete, and its going to be one of our best yet.
We've already more than doubled the number of teams from last year, so
competition is going to be fierce. 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 the
Vermont great 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: $280 for 2, $375 for 3 - $20 discount per GMARA member.

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!
