Team Tecnu Extreme/Kailash battled it out against other top-ranked athletes from around the world to clinch the 12th place spot at the 2011 version of the Adventure Racing World Championships. This was no small feat considering the epic nature of Australia’s biggest expedition race.

“It was one of the most beautiful and diverse races of my life” quotes team captain and lead navigator Kyle Peter. For the Tassie World Champs race, Peter put together an international team made up of Tecnu veteran and Brazilian Marco Amselem, seasoned adventure racer Ryan VanGorder, and Canadian Liza Pye. The team battled sand dunes, freezing temperatures, exciting white water paddling, and knee deep mud all while navigating their way to the finish line on Tasmania’s Northwest coast. “We had a great race,” says Peter “and it has only made us more excited for the upcoming 2012 season where we hope to keep on moving up the ranking board.”
