Team Midwest Mountaineering: Now appearing in Icebreaker GT!

Those of you that know me well, know that I am obsessive about my Icebreaker apparel.  I was introduced to the clothing while in New Zealand, getting my first exposure to Adventure Racing almost three years ago.  Seagate Technology sent me there as part of a corporate team building exercise.  I left New Zealand with a new passion for life, a higher level of commitment and respect for my employer and co-workers, a new sport, and a handful of awesome wool shirts from Icebreaker, courtesy of Seagate.  My unfortunate travelling companion Darsi had to listen to me prattle on about AR and Icebreaker for two weeks as we toured the incredible landscape that is New Zealand.

Since I returned, I have continued to grow my collection of Merino Wool Icebreakers to include a coat, hats, socks, baselayers and of course more shirts.  It really is cool in the heat and warm in the cold.  I exercise, lounge, and even sleep in Icebreaker clothing.  I have friends making special stops on their New Zealand vacations to take pictures with me in mind.  Thanks Tara!

A chance meeting in the Icebreaker section at Midwest Mountaineering, while shopping for a new team jersey leads us to this announcement.  Team Midwest Mountaineering Adventure Racing will now be wearing Icebreaker GT clothing.  We are very excited for our new kit and the chance to give Icebreaker some feedback as we run, bike, kayak, rappel, bushwhack and scramble our way through the 2010 season.
