Introduction | In May 2008 a friend of mine told me about a race her husband was in and she thought I might be interested in the sport. It's called Adventure Racing. Before that I never knew about it. It seemed intriguing so I did some research and boy, did it get my attention! It was just the kind of adrenaline rush I've been looking for.
To get in shape for my racing I found CrossFit, a core strength and conditioning program focused on constantly varied, functional movements, executed at high intensity. It is incredibly challenging but extremely rewarding. It is the BOMB and is very addictive. September 20, 2008 was my first adventure race--the Tahoe Big Blue Sprint Adventure Race consisting of running, biking, and kayaking. My team is named "Tone 40" and we are addicted to the sport. There will many more adventure races to come. This blog serves as a record of my training along with any other life adventures I have along the way. |
