TESTIMONIES
Hi Thierry,
Wow, another great event!
Thanks for putting together a great course. I finally finished an 8 hour race, no cutoffs, no nav errors, no short courses, no mechanicals, no cramps. I could have done the advanced kayak sections but picking up that 75 lb boat after 6 hours on the trail...well...I didn't really feel that was necessary!
Your volunteers were great, it's great that you have one at every CP. The course was fun and tough, especially the first Mtn Bike section, and most of the trekking! Oh, and of course the hill after the left-hand turn.....EPIC!
My room at the chalet was comfortable and it was great having it at the end of the race as well for no extra charge! And the showers were hot...terrific! The Air au Bois was a great base camp, the breakfast and dinner were great, and the employees were hospitable.
So thanks again, I and others really appreicate your hard work!

Hi Thierry,
Just wanted to thank you once again for a super fun race on Saturday! I need a re-do on my story (kinda shy so cut it short) -- but had wanted to thank you for finding me another bike to ride, and also for putting the final CP back for us. That and getting lost at Isle Perdu (just after Lisa and I had been chatting about how our navigation was spot-on this year!!!) all made for a most excellent adventure. I don't know why everyone else was in such a hurry :) It was a day -- and a course-- to be enjoyed. The best yet, I think.
I was really happy to see some more technical sections on the mtb course -- though the bottleneck at the beginning was frustrating because it was completely rideable, and most people walked a lot of it.

Hello Thierry how are you doing? I wanted to send you an e-mail about the adventure races that you organize. First off I like the new concept of the point system for collecting CP's.The area's of the race are very nice and I also like how both race involved hiking up a mountain. I find your races are fun and challenging and the volunteers are pleasant. I also really enjoyed the surprise events swimming, zip lining, caving. Finally, I think that silver and bronze medal finishers should receive a prize. I really look forward for the 2012 season. See you next year.

Hi Thierry, Another great race! Keep 'em coming! I'm always so impressed how cheerful and efficient your volunteers are. I always feel like everything is in control during the races. The course was beautiful, I especially enjoyed the views from the ski hill and my paddle in the river.
I broke my chain at around km 15, and team 249 stopped and held the chain while I screwed it back on. I had already lost about 10 minutes fussing with it. Took him about 2 minutes, and he was super gracious about it. Seems his broke last race 10 times!
During the trekking my legs went into full cramps, so it was nice to be able to choose my targets and collect the points according to my time remaining. That's the format we used in our orienteering exercise last October during the training. I like it, keep it!
I thanked Hammer via twitter for their electrolyte drink, it is really cool the quality of the door prizes you have. I was thinking afterwards I should have taken the certificate for the next Raid Pulse event!
So thanks again, see you in the spring, or sooner if you have another training or other event. Have a great fall!

Bonjour,
Le raid du 19 mai dernier était tout simplement génial. Quel beau parcours! Plein de défis et d'embûches certes, mais tout de même, quel parcours. Wow!
Encore une fois, tout était organisé au quart de tour. Mention spécial au jeune bénévole à P7. Merci!

Salut Thierry, je voulais te remercier pour le super evenement de samedi dernier. Bien organisé comme toujours, une journée mémorable pour tous, ma fille Kymie se souviendra longtemps de sa première course d'aventure.

Salut Annick et Thierry,
Tout d'abord, mes félicitations pour l'organisation. Je n'ai jamais été déçu sur la qualité du produit, autant le parcours, les transitions, les gentils et souriants bénévoles, la bouffe (génial les fruits à l'arrivée), les prix. Wow, après 10 ans, vous avez atteint le summum. J'ai fait ton premier raid à Arundel en 2001 ! Même lui je l'avais trouvé très bien.
Pour le système de points, c'est très intéressant car les équipes peuvent décider de sauter des points sans être disqualifiés. Ne pas faire les points dans l'ordre pour le trekking et le canot et la meilleure chose à faire aussi, car les équipes se suivent moins à la queue leu leu.
Et pour finir, le canot était très bien, beaux paysages et les balises étaient bien visibles de loin.
En résumé, notre région est bien chanceuse de compter sur vous deux et votre équipe pour nous faire vivre de super beaux moments en pleine nature.

Bonjour à tous, j'ai assisté à votre Raid du 6 août dernier en tant que supporteur pour une équipe d'amis. J'ai bien aimé l'esprit de compétition et de camaraderie qui se dégageait de cet événement. Je me propose comme bénévole pour vous assister si vous avez besoin d'aide pour vos événements de l'an prochain.
