Backcountry Studio
New Zealand
Our ultimate goal is to clear the course, take care of each others, have fun with our friends and finish in one piece. Some of us might be fearless, others might fear water and will do anything to avoid swimming. Chris will be our human compass, Sara is our long distance runner / white water specialist on top of being a nurse, Tim is the strongest on a MTB and great all rounder, Nico is a packhorse when he is not busy swapping his bike with perfect strangers mid race. Our best discipline is trekking especially if it involves tricky navigation in high country. We are most looking forward to the coasteering because it looks scary and it is a big unknown. We have all done an expedition race before (Godzone and The Magnificent), but never race together with this exact line up. Favorite snacks are hot pie bought on the course or anything dropped by the team in front of us.
