Recently dubbed an "adventure racing prodigy" by Adventure Sports Magazine, Travis has rushed from a successful history of running, triathlon, and snowshoe racing (he ran varsity cross country and track for the national champion CU Buffaloes, placed in the top ten at the USATF Collegiate National Championship Triathlon, and won the Colorado Snowshoeing State Championship) into a full-time career as a professional adventure racer. Son of Eco-Challenge legend Mark Macy, Travis has taken the adventure racing world by storm with top finishes at Mexico's Nuevo Leon Outdoor Challenge, the Teva Mountain Games, the Nike-Beaver Creek 6-hr Adventure Race (all with teammates Danelle Ballengee and Dave Mackey), the Explore Sweden expedition adventure race, and a win at the Adventure Xstream Expedition Race. The charismatic and dynamic youth recently graduated from the University of Colorado with a 3.9 GPA, and has already drawn attention from The New York Times and Adventure Sports Magazine (cover, June 2005). Travis leads America's next generation of adventure racers with a unique combination of the experience required for success on top professional team coupled with the hot, young image that is so attractive to media and consumers. Travis is a professional freelance writer, and his articles can be found at Sleepmonsters.com and in various adventure publications.
