This is not a Reality show...
Shhh...this is the kind of entry I have to type quietly because my husband sits in the next room occasionally asking me what I am covering. Shhh...if he only knew about this event, he, with no training, would probably show up imploring that his will can move mountains, and move him through such an event. OK, enough already,...this is not a reality TV show as of yet, but I am thinking the The MVP Health Care Frigid Infliction at Bolton Valley Resort will soon land in some producers hands, and sha-boom, become the most watched reality show after "The Biggest Loser: Couples."
Anyhoo, for those of you who think you have what it takes to tackle the nation's largest winter adventure race, show up in gear and frothy mouth at the 2008 MVP Health Care Frigid Infliction on March 1. Teams of two and three can compete in co-ed, or single-sex divisions, with topographic map and compass, snowshoeing, x-country skiing, post-holing and a ropes course. This event is sanctioned by the Adventure Racing Association. Registration is open now, slots filled early last year as those go out and prove themselves winter worthy. For more information, quietly call 802-865-9895 or visit www.gmara.org/frigid.
