24 Hour Fact Sheet
Clip of the Day

We’re not sure if in this millennial-ridden world Wednesday is the new Sunday, or if R2AK media creeps are just too busy handling calls from the haranguing nation of the Amanda Knox Fan Club (no really, stay on the line, your call will be answered in the order it was received), but the content in the outbox is noticeably on the lean side today. The Clip of the Day is on point, so are the facts, but there’s not a long-form anything in either written or spoken words.
Luckily, there’s plenty to keep the R2AK nation occupied. Look at all this stuff that’s worth a read:
Bios: When was the last time you spent some quality time with the bios of the 6 teams still out there? Teams Ziska, Backwards AF, Wee Free Men, Solveig, Try Baby Tri, and the Funky Dory boys. We love all of our teams equally, but these were some of our favorites, and their bios are on point (at least some point, they do wander a bit).
48° North article from Bunny Whaler. We didn’t even write this one, so you can be sure it’s cogent. Nate Rooks’ recent article in 48° North talks about his race to Alaska and the glorious aftermath it’s caused in his life.
We also just discovered the blog of Team Backwards AF. It’s a straight ahead blow by blow of what they’ve been up to. Apparently we used up all of the metaphors.
We’ll run a round up on all of the story tellers, but today we’ll all have to get by with the help of our friends.
