Team BOR (Balls Out Racing) is an Adventure Racing
team focused on crazy fun and finishing strong...well just finishing. The team is composed of like minded crazy individuals that mesh well together. Each of us have strengths that help the team and each has their weaknesses that make us
laugh. Paul (The Manimal) of Rolla Missouri is the Godfather and originator of the team. His job is to push the team harder and farther. His strengths are leaping over tall mountains in a single bound. His weakness is the rest of the team can't. Dave (Beast Mode) of St. Louis Missouri is the recruiter of the team and official story teller hence the ability to sell this craziness to others. His job is back up navigator. His strengths are pedaling like a mad man after everyone else has died out. His weakness is knowing what a pace is. He hasn't named his bike yet but its always protected so it should be named Princess. Scott (Captain Ahab) of Crestwood Missouri is the organizer of the team or the one who is telling everyone what to do even though no one listens. His job is time strategy and bike maintenance. His strength is moving through pain, which
is good because his weakness is he gets injured the most. His injuries are 10% road, 50% running, 40% crashing Samantha. Kevin (Grannyless) of Kirkwood Missouri is the southern gentleman of the team who always calls out "on your left darlin"
even though most people take that as a competitive attack. His job is Check Point Charlie and nutrition. His strengths are pedaling up hills like a mad man, but his weakness is his stubbornness not to have a granny ring on Esmeralda and knowing which way is north. Neil (Human Compass) of Eureka Missouri has the natural ability to bushwack quickly and normally accurately. His job is primary navigator unless shiny new metallic magnetic objects are near by. His strength is signing up for races quickly and his weakness is wishing he hadn't. He has the oldest running horse around named Gretchen, but he just bought a new 29er. John (Redline) of Sparta Illinois can spin his legs faster than anyone in granny gear hence redline. We have named his new bike Phantom. He is against it, but we don't care. John is training hard for triathlons and one day the Ironman. Amanda (Bonkers) of Waterloo Illinois is crazy enough to train in a thunderstorm and race her first 8 hour in single digit temperatures. While doing so she discovered the physical meaning of the term Bonk and didn't realize it happens to all of us sooner or later. She is a long distance runner and one of the quickest studies at mountain biking. Members that have not yet completed an 8 hour race as TeamBOR, but train or race with us are listed below. Nicole L., Kyle D., Luke D., Erika N., Megan C., Dirk F., Rachael F., Kevin E., Ryan R.
