I got my feet wet with an 18 hr race this past fall. I’m a solid trail runner &amp; mountain biker. Looking for a partner/team to do some races in PA, WV and/or NY- 12-24 hrs. I live in Indiana, PA.</span> tag:blog.rootsrace.com,2012-01-23:15602006 Grass Roots Racing 2012-01-23T15:16:32Z 2012-01-23T15:16:32Z <span style="font-family: arial;">Mandatory gear is limited to:</span> <div><span style="font-family: arial;">Hands free illumination (headlamp etc.), compass, mapcase for the Night time Navigation Stage, and a mountain bike for the duathlon. &nbsp;</span></div> <div><span style="font-family: arial;">All other gear will be provided, though it is recommended that you wear warm comfortable clothing and running shoes.</span></div> tag:blog.rootsrace.com,2012-01-23:15601996 Mike Sero 2012-01-23T15:10:32Z 2012-01-23T15:10:32Z Is there a mandatory gear list for this race? tag:blog.rootsrace.com,2011-04-10:7406929 SisterAct 2011-04-10T16:05:21Z 2011-04-10T16:05:21Z Thanks for taking the time to put this navigation overview together. For us beginners, this is tremendously helpful and gets us even more excited for the race season to start! <br />See you at SORCAR, Team SisterAct tag:blog.rootsrace.com,2011-02-09:4924670 Elena 2011-02-10T01:06:00Z 2011-02-10T01:06:00Z Glad to hear that you toes haven't fell off yet:). I will be at Raccoon (if I'm alive and well) but as for now Max made a decision not to race any longer ("cause we are useless" - this is his argument:). tag:blog.rootsrace.com,2011-02-09:4924580 Elena 2011-02-10T00:59:10Z 2011-02-10T00:59:10Z I did mentioned cross-country skiing last year! Frank said same thing as this time: too few people have the equipment. But I agree with you - skying would have been so much fun!! tag:blog.rootsrace.com,2011-02-09:4919812 Grass Roots Racing 2011-02-09T15:13:01Z 2011-02-09T15:13:01Z We'd love to change the bike leg to X-country skiing, but are afraid that we would disappoint those racers that don't have skis. &nbsp;Maybe we will take a poll and see the results? &nbsp;Stay tuned! <div>FE</div> tag:blog.rootsrace.com,2011-02-09:4919673 Randy 2011-02-09T14:48:51Z 2011-02-09T14:48:51Z I had a bit of frostbite too, but the race was fun overall (except the bike push). It would be the best race ever if they changed the cycling to cross country skiing. (or maybe an option of bike or skis depending on preference or weather) tag:blog.rootsrace.com,2011-02-09:4919411 Stacy 2011-02-09T14:13:01Z 2011-02-09T14:13:01Z Elena and Max! Great report. For anyone who reads this, they are NOT exaggerating about the racing conditions (my frostbite is healing nicely). I hope you only move to Toronto so we see you again next January! And I hope to see you at Raccoon too. I will bring the vodka :) tag:blog.rootsrace.com,2011-01-26:4644603 Regina Vixen 2011-01-26T23:09:54Z 2011-01-26T23:09:54Z Stacey Gelhaus rocks. What an accomplishment as a group but phenomenal show of character as a soloist.
