Any Adventure Racers Out There?
This July there is a multi-discipline adventure race. Its a 10 hour 1 day deal. Swimming,orienteering,mtn biking,canoeing and ropes. I asked a friend at work to join me, there are two man teams. Anyway have any of you done this type of race? Any pointers? I have experience in all these areas but will still need help and plan on attending training clinics the local adventure race club offers. Thanks!

I want to do one one of these days, but first I need to accumulate gear and money.

No adventure racing here, but I love to watch the televised ones. The Eco Challenge is coming up, wahoo!

Good luck and keep us posted on how it works out for you.

Rad, I quit smoking on new years,COLD TURKEY. Havent smoked since.Thanks for the hint on going fast, I hadnt thought of it LOL.

DM, they provide all gear except a mtn bike. I have one ,its nothing fancy but itll work. I will also use my canoe (an old used one) but only because itll save me $10 and its 13 lbs lighter than theirs.

I have no intention of winning. I just want the challange and the motivation to workout harder. Its the same reason I dabbled in distance running a while back. My chosen teammate will want to win I reckon. Hes 18 years my senior and VERY competitive,hes run 16 marathons numerous triathalons and one ironman.

I hope it works out.

Anybody out there do this? Looking for tips? I've signed up for a race including, paddling, bouldering, trail running, bike.

I'd dig any tips or past experiences anyone would like to throw out there.
