Every team needs a mascot, and for this year’s Untamed New England adventure race the mascot has been found. During a last  minute training ride this Sunday, Jennifer Shultis and I came across this lonely fellow just looking for some adventure.  He was one of a small tribe of castaway misfits at a roadside yard sale, and with very little persuasion we got him for free and we knew we were going to show him the time of his life.

We realize he hasn’t trained much for this race, and may not even make it the whole way,  but rest assured, he’s promised us he won’t complain at all, no matter what happens. If only I could say the same for myself.

Stay tuned for updates at the Untamed New England web site, the action starts Thursday at 11:30 AM with some paddle orienteering and and a 35 mile paddle leg.
