A wife's perspective: Sitting on the Sidelines
posted Tuesday, March 20, 2007 by Team Checkpoint Zero @ 12:26 PM - 0 comments

I just spent a few minutes reading through all of the information regarding this weekend's Checkpoint Zero adventure race in Helen, Ga. The excitement is building. Teams are coming from CO, MI, TX etc. Fans are filling the Shout Box. Racers, fans and Yak are blogging both with useful information and taunts. This race has the potential to be the race of the season. And, unfortunately, the Checkpoint Zero/GoLite team is not racing. For obvious reasons, it would be a huge conflict of interest for our team to participate in this race. Also, this way we are able to help out. The team members have been busy scouting the course and will be putting out points, manning checkpoints, helping with registration and in general, keeping Yak under control this weekend. All important jobs, I will grant you. But it still isn't racing.

Who will I cheer for? We have a lot of friends out there racing: Enduraventure, NADS, Rock Creek Outfitters, Black Dome and I wish them all well , but it is more fun cheering for my own team. So, although as a wife and support person I should be used to sitting on the sidelines, this weekend will be especially tough for me. Don't tell Paul, but maybe it is better when he IS racing!?!?

Good luck racers. I will be cheering for all of you.
