[12 Oct 2010 - Update: the final rankings coming out of Spain continue to shift, so I've updated the results I reference below]

The two teams racing at the AR World Championships with just North American personnel, GUATS Adventure and Untamed New England, both crossed the finish line in Spain this past Friday afternoon.  I *think* GUATS adventure finished in 16th place, and the Untamed New England team finished in 21st.  Considering the caliber of competition, and the long list of strong teams who withdrew from the race or finished below them in the final standings, this is an impressive achievement!  Over 50 high-quality teams entered the race.  Congratulations!

Also in these pictures, courtesy of Brian Schmitz at the finish line, we have Canadian (not American!) Jen Segger who raced with South Africa’s Cyanosis team (finished in 13th).  There’s the Adidas Terrex team from the UK (the World Champions from 2009), and also — for those who followed them to their 2nd place finish at the Untamed New England race in August — there’s a pic of the Danish team Skandia.
