Comfortable in Chaos XPD team Moto




COMFORTABLE IN CHAOS. This doesnt mean that chickens are running around with their heads cut off. When your socks are soggy, you have 1000 grass seeds in your socks, youre tired, sick of m&ms, mozzies are buzzing in your ears, leaches hanging off your ankles & a very long 40% gradient, deep rutted, slippery mountain presents itself you feel comfortable in the chaos. Look up, smile & yell at the mountain gods "Is this all you have!!!" I can tell you from first hand experience, this is not "all they have" hehehe... That darn mountain just kept going & kicked up even steeper around the corner.





We were in need of a kit check, team shake out prior to XPD. Liam from the Queensland Rogaine Association put together a "24 hour Adventure-Gaine" & it was awesome! Liam & his team of worker bees set out a great course & organised a great event.



If you were a novice you could achieve a result. If you were a pro you could smash yourself & the course was almost cleared by some of them.

The race was made up of Teams of 2. So our XPD team of 4 signed up & traveled together for entire race XPD style.





It is easy to quickly work out that Adventure racing is not just about smashing it forward. Planning & logistic preparation is a very large part to a successful race. If you pop your shoes in the wrong transition box, too bad.
