Hello,
You are visiting the blog page of a truely excellent and fun group of people.
We are Team eCountryLifestyle.com
Our team is comprised of Cally, Frank, John (JP), and Scott. We are from the states of Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa.
We all met through a series of excellent accidents in adventure racing. You know the kind, your racing down a trail in the middle of now where and happen across some other group of equally hungry individuals and suddenly you’ve got some new friends…yeah, that kind of accident. It could have been here, there or that other place but for three of us (Cally, Frank & Scott)…it was PQ 06 on seperate teams. The other guy we’ve been trying to scare away with all of our tales of exhaustion, blisters, and deprivation of all sorts, he just smiles and says he’s all in. He seems to be a lot like the rest of us and we have a good gut feeling he’s gonna fit right in. That guy would be JP. Frank and JP have race together (and against each other) in several other races. JP has been a significant part of any team that he has race with and Team eCountryLifestyle.com looks forward to a second strong PQ finish in 08 with him.
