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!”

“birch, some guy, here at work, is doing an eco-challenge near the ocoee.

advice? go fast. and quit smoking.”

“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.”

“Birch and dhutch both adventure race. If you look on the right side of the screen you will see team thebackpacker.com. That is them”
