Introducing Chris Bartley
Chris is a 42 year old Sr. Research Specialist for the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is married, has a daughter, and a garage full of bikes. He will be running legs 8, 20, and 32 for the team.
His hobbies include triathlon, photography, and knitting by a warm fire with my other running buddies like Jeff.
His running highlights include doing Ironman Wisconsin 3 times, but he thinks the craziest thing he's done is signing up for the MC200.
Asked why he's doing the MC200, Chris replied, "Because when Jeff asked I said no and then he said something like 'I knew you wouldn't do it.' Well enough said. Also, because he promised that I would get ride in a mobile RV with beds and dish TV. So much for promises."
His goal for the race is to not get lost during the night shift run. Also, he wouldn't mind dropping a pound or two.
Despite the broken promises from Jeff, Chris still says, "I'd like to publicly say thanks to Jeff Rau for putting this all together and doing so much work. I say this now because I think that after the race we'll all be asking him why he chose us to share close quarters for a day and a half in sweaty running gear and thought it was a good idea."
