TEAM CAPTAIN |
Selected as Captain because I (i) had the most expensive equipment, (ii) took a Cartography course in 1984 and (iii) was a member of the Mountain Equipment Co-op. Athletic achievements include: house league hockey from 1972-1976, MVP of high school golf team in 1982 (because I drove the team to all the tournaments), assistant coach of my daughter's under-5 soccer team in 1998 and two-time participant in the Oakville Polar Bear Dip. |
David Rooney
Oakville, Ontario
Age: 46
Accountant |
Took over as Team Navigator following a power struggle (not to mention a series of disasterous navigational blunders). Likes to ensure that the team is eating properly (like having sushi on the way to an important race). Is never too busy to chat with other competitors or race officials during a race BUT won\'t go out of his way to pick up a map for a team in distress. |

Age: 41
Engineer |
As an Engineer, Scott is a born logistics man. He\'s always ready to deal with any mechanical issues that arise. Scott\'s motto is: If it ain\'t broke, it must be sub-optimal. Racing with the Rooney brothers, Scott is frequently called upon to diffuse family tension. |
