    We had a great time at the race. Long story short...the race was about 30 miles with disciplines in trekking, canoeing and biking with 15 checkpoints along the course (which was apparently layed out by following a mountain goat thru the hills ). We entered 4 weeks ago, trained for two weeks and completed 11 of 15 checkpoints before being pulled of the course for missing a cut-off time at 8 hours. A little over 20 miles and we're ready to do it again... (well, maybe a week while the ankle heels ) If you enjoy the outdoors and want ot step it up a notch, I recommend trying this.

    Some of the photo's can be seen here.

    I've considered adventure racing before (briefly), but for us old guys that tends to take the enjoyment out of the outdoor experience; I much prefer the "butterfly" method (flit around randomly, rest often). Good on you for attempting it. It inspires all of us to "step it up a notch."

    Was your bride on your race team or provide the support so critical to success?
