I have a lifelong passion of racing in various endurance sport races throughout the world. I continue to search for unique races to add to my race calendar each year. At the time of this writing, 2010 is my silver anniversary of racing (25 years). My specific interests include, triathlons, running races, cycling races, and snowshoeing racing at various distances. I m also interested in ultra-distance events: Double, Quintuple, Deca Ironman, 100-mile and multi-day running events. The events, traveling memories and lifelong friendships that I have experienced through the endurance-racing community, has been so valuable in my life.
The ongoing challenge we all experience is finding specific races throughout the world within each of our racing interests in one resource or website. The normal process is to search various websites, magazines and Google for specific races. The result is a time-consuming process of searching. The goal of my company is to provide a solution to this searching problem. It is the online resource for the worldwide endurance community that provides one location to search and evaluate specific races within distinct disciplines. The uniqueness of my company is the functionality of sharing registered users feedback from race reviews and specific recommended races based upon their interests and racing profile.
I want to share with the worldwide endurance sports racing community a value-based, user friendly race resource to enhance their experiences.
