Those of you who have been playing for the club for a few years will remember our hard-hitting Center/Wing, CB Brady, who quit the game in favor of less hazardous pursuits.
To fill up all his free time he's taken up "extreme" Adventure Racing which, as you can see from the picture, looks rather silly but in reality is something of a workout. Those of you who know CB will realize that he's custom built for such a sport, given his endurance, extremely high pain threshold and "extreme" fashion sense.
CB and his teammates have been rocking the White Mountains lately, with a 2nd Place finish in the 24hr Adventure Race New England Adventure Series held at Gunstock, NH, and the 1st Place overall in the Adventure Race New England Series. Yo bro, that's like...extremely extreme!
All kidding aside, it's all in a good cause, as Team Alaska Pride races in an effort to raise money an awarenes to fight Retinitis Pigmentosa. This is a degenerative eye condition that CB himself suffers from, which not only forced him to quit drinking beer, but also seems to have progressed to the point where he no longer looks at himself in the mirror. A cruel affliction indeed.
