Team Ragged Glory – Adventure Racing, Multi Sport, Friends

Team Ragged Glory placed second in the all male division of the Planet Adventure Urban Sprint in Indy on August 13. Team Ragged Glory also placed second in the coed division of the Indianapolis Adventure Race on September 10! More to come soon. Thanks to the race directors and all the volunteers!

All three father/child teams finished yesterday in the 2011 Muddy Buddy Nashville. Thanks to the Gullahorns for being exceptional hosts to this nomadic endurance tribe. All the Dads agreed that racing with our kids was amazing.

I’m awake, getting ready to awaken the other five teammates, and my lovely wife Teresa, to head to the Muddy Buddy Nashville. This is the second year we’ve done it, and Team Ragged Glory is bringing back 3 of the 6 that raced this year. Bob, Steve and I are racing with our kids; Bob with Alex, Steve with Sarah, and I am racing with my daughter Emily. Looks to be a hot one! Nervous and excited.

Just got a text from Steve Kincade, one of Team Ragged Glory’s original members! Steve finished 50 miles at Dances with Dirt in Gnaw Bone yesterday in fourteen hours! Amazing! More details soon.

Team Ragged Glory is changing the lineup for the 2011 Planet Adventure 30 Hour Challenge. Eric Henricks, Indy adventure racing veteran and TRG member, will be taking Bob Mueller’s place. Julie Nor, Nancy Gawrys and I (Doug Theis) are excited to have Eric on the team for his great attitude and amazing navigation skills!

Three father/child teams are representing Team Ragged Glory this coming May 21 at the Muddy Buddy Nashville. Bob will race with Alex Mueller, Steve will race with Sarah Kincade, and I (Doug) will race with Emily Theis. This should be fun! Thanks to Andy and Jill again for putting us up!

Thanks to Artistic Media Partners for the sponsorship!
Thanks to Emily Theis for design!

Team Ragged Glory Fossils’ 2011 @PlanetAdv Sprint traveled a route of 28.8 miles, 18.2 on bike and 10.6 on foot.

Here’s the MapMyRun diagram of our routes from Eric’s GPS logger.

Eric Henricks, Nancy Gawrys, late addition Dave Tanner and me (Doug Theis) finished first in the 2011 Planet Adventure Sprint Adventure Race on April 23 near Bloomington Indiana. Racing as “Team Ragged Glory Fossils”, the well seasoned team had an average age of 54. Congrats to Dark Side, the second oldest team on the course, on second place, and the Honey Badgers on third. Great race. Tough navigation. And thanks to the shout outs on the live site from Steve Kincade, Rachel Moir, Dark Side, and Dana Fielding!

We’re a foursome! Dave joins Nancy Gawrys, Eric Henricks and me (Doug Theis) in the Planet Adventure Sprint Race tomorrow near Bloomington!
