The threat has been removed and our sport remains independent. It has been a long and draining fight but I am glad we held our ground. Keep your eyes open because we need to ensure this stays decided.

The phone calls and emails to officials have been draining but necessary to explain why this merger is a mistake for our sport. We are being ignored for now but that silence just proves how much work we have left to do.

We hit the first hundred signatures today. It is exhausting work to defend the integrity of our sport but seeing this support keeps me going.

Ridiculous idea. Adventure racing is its own thing and needs to stay that way.
Total joke. glad someone is speaking up about this.
THEY DONT EVEN GET WHAT AR IS. DONT LET THEM RUIN IT.
If it isnt broke dont fix it. pentathlon needs to stay in its own lane.
Stop trying to force sports together that have nothing in common. Leave AR to the experts.

Keep your hands off our sport. It doesnt belong in the pentathlon and everyone knows it.
