This was the Team MAAR motto for our whitewater weekend on the Wolf RIver.  This was our last group training opportunity before PQ and we hit the Wolf River in Northern Wisconsin for some whitewater kayaking, playboating and riverboarding.  Andy McCarthy was our guide and Melaine’s brother Warren joined us for the fun.  Their guidance and expertise were well appreicated. The river was a bit low so some of the boulder gardens were a bit bony.  We had a blast riverboarding at Gilmore’s mistake rapid.  We were definitely the hit of the rapid as the playboaters hit the eddy’s to watch crazy Team MAAR hit the holes and the wavetrains on their riverboard.  Photos below:

Dan from Team MAAR teamed up with Nick Rogne from Team Albatross/Masterlock to take 3rd place overall in the open division and 2nd in the all male division at the inaugural “Race for the Booty” adventure race held May 17,2008.

 Nick and Dan road and mountain biked and navigated over 80 miles in just over 13:30:00.  The race, which was based upon a pirate theme, covered the Northern Kettle Morraine Forest and Long Lake.  The format of the race was unique with teams choosing the race segments and completing them in any order.  There were time penalties for missed controls and missed segments.  Nick and Dan finished all the bike/nav segments missing ony one optional control (damn pirate flag) and finished one of the “paddle” segments, although never got their boat wet :)  Overall a good training day.
