Anna Frost A Team Inov-8 sponsored Mountain Runner. Anna, who's a PE teacher by day, won the 2008 Mont Blanc Half Marathon and the 2008 Salomon Mountain-X Race.  Two riders who’ll need plenty of fuel for their adventures in 2009 are Jon Stenson and Pete Turnbull. Jon and Pete are familiar faces on the UK mountain bike scene, competing in all the major marathon and 24 hr races. Last year the pair won the “Torchlight” 12hr (midnight to 12 noon) at the Bontrager 24/12 in Plymouth and Pete is the UK vets marathon champion. In 2007 they were the top placed British team in the 8-day Cape Epic in South Africa, but in 2009 they intend to go two better – in addition to the Cape Epic in March, the pair will race the Trans-Alps in July and the Trans-Rockies in August. To our knowledge, no amateur pair has completed all three of the world’s big multi-stage mountain bike races in one season.
