Team Bio: http://teamkinetic.wordpress.com


Alexandre ‘Alex’ Provost - Alex has been involved in adventure racing in Québec since 2000. Having successfully raced all kind of races in North America and Europe has brought him a wide variety of experience in short and long distance adventure racing. Alex is a jack of all trade alike racer, with strengths in orienteering and race strategy, whitewater and mountain bike. Most of all, he’s a team player with the only goal in mind to get to the finish line as fast as possible.

Stephanie ‘Steph’ Lajoie – Adventure racer since 2003, Stephanie follows her teammates without complains and likes to suffer for long stretches. Her competitive background includes long distance paddling, mountain biking and running. Always the best girl on the team ;) Steph takes a lot of pride from never being pulled on a bike section, on carrying extra weight on her bike and not slowing down her teammaters in trail running. She is happy to be part of this team and looks forward to give it all she’s got and have a great time.

Pascal ‘Rascal’ Laroche – Racing successfully since 2005, Pascal is the happy face of the team. With a triathlon and hockey background, Pascal is a strong all around teammate always ready to fulfill workhorse duties. He is also the team’s co-navigator and a strong paddler. A real AR junky, « Rascal » will keep a smile on whatever the adversities. His laughter and jokes are a source of motivation for the team when things get tougher. The thing we don’t know is if teammates are amused by his jokes, or just can’t take it anymore! Bottom line, if this guy is not having fun, we are in deep trouble! Pascal has racked up many podiums in stage races, rogaines (2nd North-American champ) and won Tierra Viva with teammate Francis last April in Argentina. He also participated to MIX and Primal Quest.

Francis ‘the Tank’ Lambert – Francis is the tough guy on the team. With a diverse athletic and competitive background including mountain biking, triathlons and running, adventure racing was the logical path for him to follow. Intensely racing since 2004, he as participated in over 20 races in Canada, United States and lately in South America, and has numerous podiums. Nicknamed « Frank the tank », nothing is yet known to be able to stop Francis on the race course. An experienced navigator with victories in many rogaines and orienteering races, he handles the maps and compass to steer the team through the course. Good all around player, but especially strong on the bike, you will often see him helping his team towing a teammate up a hill. SalomonSuuntoRaid Pulse

Happy to have done this part of the river in some of daylight. Those teams with four in the boat, they are fast on the lake. Doing great! It's quite chilly at night. We were surprised to get in front of the pack after the trail portage--seeming that there was a crowded trail. The conservation project seemed much more useful for the area compared to past projects. Thank you!
