2012 TRUMAN ADVENTURE RACE IS IN THE WORKS

I've got the race course prelim design all worked up and submitted for aproval from the land holders and it's a doozy.

A couple changes for the race this year include the ability to bring your own boat and receive a discount off the entry.

We are looking to take the long course to a night time race. The 6 hour sprint will remain a day race on Saturday but will start at 12 noon to allow for a "morning of" registration.

We are also adding a canoe only division that is open to canoe, kayak, outrigger canoe and surfski...OK and dragon boats.

I've got my permit meeting scheduled next week and I'll open registration as soon as I get approval.

2012 ALL NIGHTER

I'm thinking of taking the Truman Lake Adventure Race to May or June next year and making it a 12 hour NIGHT race. What are your thoughts on this?

2011 RESULTS

Results are posted above. Click on the image for a large view. Right click and you can save and print if you like. I'm up in Canada on a business trip and it seems I left the Rubber Duckies punch sheet at home. These result may change slightly depending on if they missed any CP.

POSTING ALL TRUMAN LAKE ADVENTURE PICS

Bruce has posted some pics of the race. I'll add more as people forward them to me.

USARA INSURANCE FEE

Don't forget to bring your USARA yearly membership cards or $8 cash or check per person for the USARA daily insurance fee to the check-in Friday night.

Also, be sure to check out Truman Lake Bikes just down the street from check-in. Not only is it a great place to pick up any last minute gu's, tubes a bike stuff but it will be a checkpoint on the long course race so you might as well scout it out before hand.

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES FOR THE FINISH

It's all coming together now. Got the finish line food done. I started smoking pulled pork last night at 5:00 PM and finally got em off there about 4:00 AM this morning. MMmmmm MMMmmmmm!

MANDATORY GEAR

Mandatory Gear - Check to make sure you have your mandatory gear. We may drop the fleece and rain pants depending on the weather but be prepared as we won't decide until Friday night at the race meeting.

Check out the mandatory gear list.

BIKE LIGHTS FOR LONG COURSE TEAMS

Update: While a white front bike light is not on the required gear list, I HIGHLY recommend a bike light in addition to any standard headlamp FOR THE LONG COURSE TEAMS ONLY. Your standard headlamp may suffice if caught after dark on the road but the last trail section is another story entirely. Most teams should finish well before sundown but if you have any doubts, bring a handlebar or helmet mounted bike light.
