Cyanosis Adventure Racing Team successfully complete the 2009 Adventure Racing World Championships

On Saturday the 14th of November 2009 Cyanosis walked across the finish line of the 2009 ARWC that was held in Portugal.  This race was considered by many to be the ultimate challenge of endurance and mental stamina and it was just that, the race organizers challenged the teams physically in the first three stages of the race with stage three being one of the toughest with a positive altitude gain of 10730m with in 270km.   At the post race conference Mike Kloser (Team Nike / Beaver Creek) commented that this was the best field ever assembled at an Adventure Racing World Championships and that this year the teams were so closely matched.    Well done to all the teams that completed the ARWC 2009 and a huge congratulations to Team Cyanosis and a special mention for Debbie Gerrand that despite a late injury 2 days before the race never discussed quitting the race instead raced 900km with incredible back pain that saw her taken to hospital after the race on Saturday.  Well done Debbie….
