>> Untamed Virginia Adventure Race

Sean Gormley (Captain)

Jeff BD Darling

Bernard DuCharme

Hometown: Annandale, VA

Team Bio:

The Nova Nuts are excited about 30 hours of pain and suffering and look forward to the challenge. We are in our 3rd year of adventure racing out of Northern Virginia and have done a few other 24 to 30 hour races including the UntamedVA in 2007. (We didn't actually tell our new guy that this race was 30 hours so keep it on the DL.)

We do expect to be lost for a good portion of the race and if it seems like we are following you, it's probably because we are following you.

Good luck to the rest of the racers and a hearty thanks, in advance, to Grant and the UntamedVA crew for allowing us to pay good money to go play in the woods. We are fortunate that folks like Grant are willing to spend the time and effort to put on such great races.
