Double Trouble
Reed Gillette
Reed has been an adreneline junky most of his life beginning with the bull chasing incident
in grade school. He challenged for the world record in the 100M dash but no timing equipment was available to confirm the record.
Reed started adventure racing after watching an Eco-Challenge and decided he could do it too. He has competed in nearly all
the Trioba and Wicked AR and finished the 2004 Primal Quest in WA.
Andrea Haslem
Andrea is a total fitness machine and has
been running triathlons and other races for the last 10 years. Andrea's first adventure race was a challenge to some of her friends
to do the Multonomah Madness race a couple years ago. Its been all AR since Andrea has competed in nearly all the Trioba and
Wicked AR events with Reed as Double Trouble or with Double Trouble/Peak Physique Fitness.
Andrea and Reed recently
married and live in Tigard, OR.

Connie Ness
Connie has been a runner all her life and completed her first Ironman Canada triathlon
in 2002. She loved the feeling of accomplishment that comes with an Ironman finish but yearned for something less structured
and more . . . adventurous. Colin's friend Barry St Germain convinced them they needed to do the first TRIOBA adventure race
in Ellensburg WA in May of 2003. After the day was spent hauling the bike all over the countryside, their race ended at a campfire,
many miles from the finish. Connie was hooked and has been challenging herself ever since.
Colin Ness
Colin has also competed in AR events since 2003, always racing with Connie. Before that, he was an avid triathlon
racer and formidable pub runner! He completed his first Ironman Canada triathlon in 1995 and was hooked on ultradistance events.
He completed 2 more Ironman Canada triathlons before jumping into the adventure racing thing headfirst. Since 2003, he and Connie
have raced most of the Trioba and Beast races in Washington State and all the Wicked adventure races in Oregon. He dreams of
competing in an expedition length adventure race with Connie!
