Non-naARcs and Non-Standard Adventure Races
2005

In no particular order, the following race promoters were all part of the Mongrels' extended 2005 season:

Throughout the year, the team participates in lots of races that aren't part of our standard adventure racing schedule

These are all great fun, a perfect way for anyone to get involved in healthy physical activity and often an opportunity for introduction into adventure racing

REI Texas State Championship Adventure Race Series, Fort Worth. June 25, 2005:

    - This is a six race series in different TX
      locations, with an individual race and series
      component
    - Two person teams, completes a combination
      of trail run, mountain bike and kayak, but
      without navigation

    Pretty much the perfect introduction to the sport

    The Mongrels participated with two teams:
    - Mongrels (Richard Jensrud and Jessica Near)
      5th Place Coed, Time - 1:23
    - MongPups (Scott Ash and Tim Varner)
      7th Place Male, Time - 1:23

Subaru Urban Assault, Dallas, TX, May 22, 2005:

    - Urban Bike Adventure Race in teams of two
    - Each team gets a list of checkpoints prior to
      the race start, determine in what order they
      want to hit each checkpoint and then on race
      day completes the race course on bike
    - Each checkpoint is a different special task ...
      lots of fun stuff ... swimming, puzzles,
      indoor navigation and many more

    This race was so much fun and it certainly
    didn't hurt that we got Chipotle burritos and a
    beer or two after the race

    Two teams represented The Mongrels:

    Nicol Rodgers and Richard Jensrud
    - 10th Place Coed (42 teams), Time - 3:56

    Jon Meyers and Dan Drabinski
    - 18th Place Male (33 teams), Time - 4:47

Thruston Summer Duathlon Series:

    Dan Drabinsky, Jon Meyers and Richard
    Jensrud participated in several races in the
    Thruston Duathlon series

    The races are 2 miles run / 9.5 miles road
    bike / 2 miles run ... all starting and finishing
    at the Bath House at White Rock Lake, Dallas

    These are highly competitive races and a great
    way to add some diversity to our training routines
    ... especially during the otherwise quiet summer
    months
