Multisport Athlete

Well, halfway I guess. For those of you that snoop around on Happy Mutant Multisport you may have seen that I will be working closely with Chad and Dirty in 2007 to run an adventure/multisport series in the cedar valley area. The focus will be on the event, atheletes, trails, outdoor awareness, and getting new people involved especially kids! We are going to have unique events with huge benefits for the athletes, trail systems, local charities, and much much more.

So today I toss out my first call for ideas on local sponsors for the series and/or just a specific event. The sponsors will certainly get there donations worth, but they need to be in it for the whole picture, not out for themselves. We are currently talking with the Runners Flat in CF and Hansen's dairy / Moo-Roo's ice cream in Hudson. Volunteers will also be needed for our cycling and running clinics if you know of anybody shoot me a name and I'll contact them.
Also info on local charities that could use some money and exposure would be good. I have been talking with Big Brothers / Big Sisters and I would also like to work with the Boy Scouts in Waverly.

Below is a VERY tenitive schedule for the spring and fall series. In the spring series your top 4 events count for the points chase (points chase, what is this NASCAR??) and in the fall all 3 events are counted for the points title.
Thanks in advance Eduardo... Cedar Valley Adventure

Spring
Trail run / clinic / youth race
MTB TT / clinic / youth race
BSA MTB race with a Trail run prior to the MTB (Bucannondale what do you think??)
Off road Duathlon team or Solo

Fall
1/2 marathon trail run with nutrition clinic
4 hour marathon MTB Race (BSA camp Carlos??)
Adventure Du / Adventure race 2-4 hour range

So, as if I'm not busy already with the shop, being a firefighter, finishing up all my "good weather" projects, and taking care of all the little suprises in life I'm going to start up 2 more companies!!! I have asked myself several times WTF are you thinking Jeff?? Well, I'm thinking it's time to make some things better. Time to raise the bar on what should be expected out of Manufactures and Race Directors. Time to do something for athletes by athletes, and I'm going to give it my best shot to DU so. It's going to take a lot of time and stepping out of my comfort zone to TRI some new things, but I have a lot of support from my friends and family that will make this venture successful. The launch of Happy Mutant Multisport has helped me to make this leap and I thank Chad for all the emails and phone calls as I start to get this headed down the right TRAIL. Stay tuned and I will do my best to keep you updated, the next 4 to 6 weeks will be crazy.
