She’s so natural and balanced. She’llbe just like me.”If so, it’s probably good that Sophiahas begun training; the road ahead of herlikely will be rock-strewn, often vertical,and sometimes watery. Sophia’s mom isan adventure racer, and if you don’t knowwhat that is, you soon will.“Adventure racing is the fastestgrowingsport in the United States,”Mossey says. In addition to being acompetitor, she’s an entrepreneur andadvocate. Green Mountain AdventureRacing (www.gmara.org) was launched in Versatile athlete Shona Mossey ‘94January by Mossey and her teammates, maintains a fitness level that allows her to“walk out the door and run a marathon,”a nonprofit club to educate about andbut she prefers mountaineering.encourage adventure racing. Her newcompany, Adventure Racing Unleashed, Inc., will host two adventureraces in Vermont this summer. Mossey says her Champlain paralegalstudies have helped her in business ever since graduation in 1994. “Iinstinctively know what to do when I go into new things; it was a greateducation,” she says.“Team On Track” is Mossey and her racing partners Brian Loeffler,a physical therapist and owner of On Track Fitness, and Eli Moulton, aBurlington attorney. Their first adventure race last May, was a six-hour“sprint race” that they finished in three hours and ten minutes. “Noneof us is a sprint racer,” she says, “and I had the worst asthma attackI’ve ever had when I hit the water.” Yes, water, in May, in New York.Her response to that first race: “I have a strong will and conviction,and I’m not going to stop because of asthma.”Part of the adventure in these races, Mossey explains, is journeyinginto the unknown. “You never know what the race is going to beuntil you’re doing it,” she says. Racers can count on hiking, running,climbing and biking, usually, but they never know what rules will governthe segments. “You pick up your race packet after the gun goesoff, sit on the ground and figure it out. It levels the playing field. Noone knows what they’re doing.”Racers map their own courses and strategies, the only requirementbeing that they hit all the checkpoints in order. They lug all theirgear, equipment and food. In a typical 12-hour race, Mossey says,only a quarter of the field will finish.During a race, you might never see another team, Mosseyexplains, much less a cheering crowd. “There are no audiences forthese races. This is not about people seeing me and cheering me on.This is about personal goals.”Champlain View | Spring 200423
