Musing and Errata on the world of Adventure Racing from the Yak
presented by MPGear.com

Folks I'm thrilled to report that since the beginning of our coverage of the Raid World Championship, checkpointzero.com has received more unique visitors from more countries around the world and served up more page views than at any point in our 4 year history.

This spike in traffic is due entirely to the exceptional reporting by Lisa de Speville and your voracious appetite for news about the race.

Thanks to all of you for choosing to visit our little corner of the web. Please keep in mind that it is only through the support of our sponsors that this kind of reporting is even possible. Take a minute to click on the ads you see while traversing the site to let them know that they've made a smart decision by investing in what we do.

Lisa and I have been exchanging emails for the duration and it turns out that she's actually gotten less sleep than virtually all of the teams competing.

She's a hardcore athlete and she's got mad skills. I knew that...I just didn't realize she was as crazy and motivated as the top racers in the world. I should have guessed.

I'd like to thank her personally for turning in such a remarkable performance in order to provide all of us with such an amazing view into the race while it happens.

Great job Lisa. Thank you and WAKE UP...the race isn't over yet...you can sleep when you're dead :-)
