Myself and 4 others from my shift are wanting to do the relay for the challenge, Im looking for some information on getting started and most importantly training. Im probably thinking the 2010 year we will be competing but look to maybe start training this spring/summer to get ready. We are all pretty serious about it and while im not saying we want to be the champs but we want to work hard and put on a good showing. Any information on training programs, and how to go about entering would be very helpful.

Thanks, Matt

Matt,
In short.....I'd encourage your team to go ahead and try to get to an event this year, there is alot of learning that can be done at the regional events, which will help set you guys up for the success you are looking to have in the future. If you'd like, feel free to drop me a line at brandon.l.cunningham@us.army.mil and I will answer some of your questions.....gear,training, competing...etc.

Best,Brandon
