Captain and navigator, Fletcher's leadership and encouragement rally his team(s) to new levels each race. Designer by day and adventure seeker at all other hours, this young father has found himself practicing the fine art of time management with every aspect of his life. He has been racing in multi-sport events since 2003, earning podiums and top ten finishes in several local/regional adventure races. He still recalls his first adventure race and having his legs lock up throughout the event (still finished though!). More recently, Fletcher has been training his navigation skills with the local Possum Trot Orienteering Club and finally exploring the world of expedition racing the past three seasons with trips to Raid the North Extreme & the Gold Rush Mother Lode.
Fletcher grew up playing traditional team sports, excelling specifically in soccer, but put these aside for more adventurous pursuits of rock climbing, trail running, and mountain biking all fostered by family trips "West" to the natural wonders of our National Parks. These interests coupled with the study of design and complex patterns, has developed his interest in strategy based competitions - Orienteering & AR. Fletcher continues to explore and push his physical limits as well, researching and testing various nutritional regimens in the pursuit of a specific allergen free endurance supporting diet.
