Bio - William Eddy

Location: St. Paul, MN

Year Born: 1980

Height/Weight: 5'10''/172

AR Strength: Endurance, Biking [turning the pedals in anger], comic relief, hallucinating during long races, fast transitions. I've actually enjoyed running lately.
Pay the Bills: Grad Student in Kickass [Ecology]

Hobbies: Backpacking, Mountaineering, Photography, Cycling [mountain and road], wearing spandex, science, beer, film and music, cooking, SCUBA, travel.

Thought on AR: Adventure racing fits my penchant for challenges, the outdoors, getting dirty, and being part of a team. I'll probably never be the fastest in any one discipline -- but AR allows a team to make up for a lack of speed with good decisions, good route finding, quick transitions, and team work. Ultimately, adventure racing to me is about racing hard, cracking jokes, and sharing a well earned beer with friends after the race.
