AR Militia took third place overall in this year's installment of the ever grueling Nocturnal Challenge sponsored by Pangea Adventure Racing. Congrats to Green Paw Adventure Sports for obliterating the course and Nature Calls for taking second place. The big news for our team however was not the top-3 finish but the addition of a new team member, a girl. That's right, a girl. Her name is Sara Heuther and she is Matt's younger sister.
Sara raced a kick ass race and never complained even though she did get dumped on her bike when we tried to tow her. Halfway through the race, while the lightening was crashing, she actually said how much she was enjoying this kind of racing. Sara is no stranger to endurance sports, however, she has completed marathons and half iron mans in addition to being a national level collegiate pole vaulter.
Next up the team will be traveling to Nationals presented by Checkpoint Tracker which is to be held in the Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky. We are adding another new member for this race, Brett Heuther, Sara's husband. Hopefully Brett performs as well as his wife...
