Tommy Kelly

Tommy is Team Red Energy’s team captain and primary navigator. He has competed in over two dozen adventure races ranging from sprint to 12-hour races. Tommy regularly competes in orienteering meets to hone his skills as the team navigator, consistently placing in the top in Arizona. This year he added three endurance mountain biking races to his race season to push his limits and prepare him for longer adventure races. 2007 will mark his 4th year in Adventure Racing.

 

 Michelle Kelly

Michelle has been involved in adventure racing over the last three years and is making an impact in the sport as one of the top female racers in Arizona. This has brought her coverage in the national magazine Adventure Sports and local Arizona publication Sweat. This year she has added two endurance mountain biking races to her season, which has helped her mentally and physically prepare for the demands of 24-hour and expedition adventure races that the team plans to compete in next year. 2007 will mark her 4th year in Adventure Racing.

 

  Bryan Thelen

Bryan is a 12 year military veteran who found his bug for Adventure Racing while stationed in Ft. Drum, NY. His Infantry background is a solid fit with adventure racing because of the navigational training and "It could always be worse" mentality. Bryan has done a handful of 24-36 hour races and more than a dozen 4-12 hour races. Bryan joins the team in his sixth year of racing.
