Killers...

That killer instinct. The burning desire to win every race, not just merely complete. It is what separates the anyone who is at the top of their game, from the also-rans. This is the kind of character that a great champion must possess, an essential quality for any top athlete seeking excellence in a sport as demanding as adventure racing. Victories can be chalked up, but it is CONSISTENT victories, and groundbreaking performance as well, that ensure a step up in standard... that cements the sportsman's place in history.

To cultivate that instinct is no small feat. It does not come easy, and many are easily distracted from this task. It requires great sacrifice, substantial investments - physically, mentally, emotionally. And yet one cannot let physical, mental or emotional limitations detract one from that great goal.
