What to Expect

While We're Out There

Communication

Sparse but real

Expect limited replies on comments, ads, and app messages while we are out. We will get to everything when we are back. Urgent training questions still welcome, just plan to wait.

Updates

OAT Athletes Chat

Photos, voice notes, and check-ins post in the in-app athletes chat. That is the best place to follow along in close to real time.

Live Tracking

Garmin InReach map

The map below pulls live InReach pings during the trip. Refresh to see the latest position. Expect long gaps in the canyon. That is normal.
