Results for the 2007 Desert Rage Series.....

Desert Rage Mohave (Finale)

Lake Mohave we're told had received .7 inches of rain in 2007 until Friday.  Since then, that number has more than doubled.  Call if fortuitous, but what is it about Adventure Racers that brings out the best in trying weather!?! ...Forget about the winds forecast to gust past 30 mph on the lake. 

For the Desert Rage Finale, teams were in for a challenge.  To begin, teams had to find 3 checkpoints, one of which was a slot canyon that had a small waterfall streaming in through it as teams stamped their passports over a 2 mile run.  Then, a 22.5 mile bike ride had teams climbing up a gradual 1000 feet and having to navigate on old mining roads before witnessing a sunrise that many described as spectacular when it was visible between storm clouds.

After biking, teams went out for a 6 mile paddle from Telephone Cove to Princess Cove before beginning a 5 mile trek in search of 3 more remote points, one of which was a 600 foot climb to the highest peak in the area. 

Teams Adventure Racing Concepts (Dennis & Tara Paprocki, Jim & Jane Holmes), Kayak Lake Mead (Robert & Druce Finlay, Amy VanVoorst) and Monster Energy (Dave & Windy Marks, Jack London) were trading the lead all day long and after the trek, Monster emerged victorious garnering first for the race and the series. 

We look forward to seeing all of you in February at Saguaro Lake for the start of the 2008 Desert Rage series.  A special thanks to all of our great volunteers in 2007 for making the sport possible, and the racers who've continued to make our sport great.  In 08, you can look forward to new twists and turns as we bring you new races, new formats, new venues, new distances and new challenges.  We at Sierra Adventure Sports would like to thank you for continued patronage and we'll continue to strive for improvement in every event we promote.  Also, in spring 2009, look forward to Arizona's first multi-day expedition race!
