TMMAR Commits to the Fat Otter Raid!

Team Fat Otter is putting on a Raid this spring and Team Midwest Mountaineering Adventure Race is going to attend.  Forms are sent in, check is cut, just need to train and prep.  What is a RAID?  Good question.  My research didn't reveal anything definitive, but my intuition tells me it is the international term for an expedition length adventure race.  Although not used much here, it is pervasive enough that equipment manufacturers place the Raid word in some of their product names, such as the Salomon Raid Revo.

We visited Wisconsin for another event last summer, the Sweaty Otter, also put on by Fat Otter racing.  This event is as close as an event this length has ever been to home, Black River Falls Wisconsin.

The details:
20-23 May, 2010
4 Person (Pete, Will, Chris and Paula W.)
Teams are allowed 2 totes for gear, all other items must be carried.  No support crew is allowed.

We have always wanted to do a race longer than 24 hours.  They are difficult just to get to the starting line.  Logistics, team commits, expense and travel all create issues.  Thank you Team Fat Otter, for putting on an expedition style race so close to home.  We are pumped!
