SOAR 8-hour adventure race update
I just realized that I didn't post about the adventure race last Saturday.
I am way psyched to report that I met my 2 goals of
a)finishing
b)not being hospitalized
Not only did I reach my goal, but I had an absolute blast during the race. Here's an abbreviated version of the race:
1)18 miles of biking on hilly gravel roads
2)3 mile trail run
3)2 hour navigation course
4)45 minute canoe
5)2 hour navigation course
6) 7 mile trail bike course
We finished in about 7 hours and I finished with a huge smile on my face....i know that this is only the beginning because I've found a new love in my life: adventure racing!!
As an added high to the whole experience, our team finished in 5th place :-)
Bring on the adventure!
