We are outdoor folks from the Visayas who, by fate, have fallen in love with the sport of adventure racing—a sport that is the culmination of everything we have known from being in the outdoors
We are at a point where we wish to push further individually, and as a team. We wish to know what internal and external limits we have, and how we act when we face these limits
Ate Nicole, a close friend of ours, shared this quote a few weeks back:
“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” —Thomas Jefferson
Never has this quote been more true to us than now.
We are Team Dirt, and we wish to announce our bid for the world stage. Come June 26 to July 4, we will be joining the Adventure Racing World Series in Malaysia.
Dubbed as AR Malaysia, this will be our team dipping our toes onto a bigger and tougher course. A race of this scale is never easy, and that is why it is so appealing to us
We have been training and preparing since August. Our trainings will continue up until next year, and hopefully, put ourselves in a position where our bodies, and our minds, are at their prime for an expedition race
We are not promising podium finishes. The route can always throw a curve ball. Though it is a dream we wish to achieve, we are keeping expectations at a minimum
We’ll probably cross the finish, tired, dirty, hungry, tears in our eyes, trying to fathom the sheer amount of effort we have put in: from preparation to race day, into just crossing the finish at ARWS
Our team lineup consists of:
Marfred Albesa - Team Captain
Andrea Gaurana - Asst Captain
Nick Aguilos - Navigator
Glin Alvero - Navigator
Noel Cardines - Backup Racer
Jason Garrido - Team Manager
Frienli Mesias - Support
Tata Hernaez - Support
We are in our fundraising phase. Help us reach our goal by funding our campaign. Thank you or in our dialiect, damo nga salamat
Keep racing!
