Dave Dusenberry

I live in Kenosha and I am a member of Kenosha Running Club and a member of the Pleasant Prairie RecPlex.  I used to run 5K races in the mid 90's but took time off to gain weight, so basically I consider myself a fairly new runner.  I started in January 2010 with a goal to lose a bunch of weight and just finish a 5K race by that summer.  After I got started I got hooked and was able to do my first 1/2 marathon last year and lose 40 pounds.  My race plans for this year is the Ragnar Relay and my first full marathon.  I look forward to meeting more runners who are interested in Fort2Base.  Contact me @davedoos on twitter or dmdoos@gmail.com

Jay De Boer

I'm an athlete who lives in Kenosha WI. I began racing mountain bikes about 8 years ago. In 2009 I began running because there were more running events then mountain biking. I completed my first and second half marathon in 2011. I hope to complete at least 1 full marathon in 2012. I love preparing for races and associating with other racers.

LaQueshia Jeffries

My name is LaQueshia Jeffries. I was born and raised in Waukegan and North Chicago, IL. Last year I noticed how fast the years were flying by and decided to pick up running to feel better and stretch myself. In the 2011 season I was able to run and complete the Chicago Marathon. The Fort2Base  10 Nautical helped me to mentally prepare  and get my miles up for the marathon. Throughout this run season I plan to enjoy more frequent races (and shorter distances). FOr more info about preparing for this race reach out to me at @my_iced_tea on Twitter or email via my blog MyIcedTea.blogspot.com. Hope to hear from you soon. Here's to happy healthy running in 2012!
