New Adventure Racing Tow System

New Adventure Racing Tow system from We Go Team Link, can be used for walking/ trekking and running stages of adventure races. The system can be ordered as a complete set or individual components.

The system has been tested under race condions with the following conclusions

Towing system allowed the team to maintain a higher speed by assisting a member who is slower at an activity.
Both people took the role of tower during the event. In one case, a pair of people took on both roles with each other We conclude that the usefulness of this system is not limited to a "stronger" and a "weaker" person, but that in different circumstances or activities, an individual might take on either role, even within one team.
Test result (4) confirmed what I had assumed but not yet directly observed: that the team link allows the tower to exercise to exhaustion by imparting towing force to the towee.

The Race takes its toll

The first day of the Sabah Adventure Challenge had seen two retirements. The second day of racing in hot and humid 34C saw many teams struggling. A lot of the racing was near a river and competitors were advised to jump in to cool. The race started with a quick run from the overnight camp towards the Flying Fox and in the Adventure class, it was the third place team from Hong Kong who managed to gain a 20 minute minute lead over the the chasing team from Singapore. Yestersdays leaders made a navigation error which dropped them down to 4th plave but they retired later in the day when one of themsuffered a torn toe nail and damaged thier knee during the accent and decent of a hill.

The Extreme race is close the leaders holding a 30 minute lead over the chasing pack going into the second day. The course for them ended with a long mountain bike leg of 80 kilometes including the decent that the adventure teams took yesterday and which cuased a number of falls. after some seven hours of racing the teams still had a long way to go to reach the finish.
