Back at it

I have really been feeling great this week. I am usually blown out after an event like that. I feel great though. It is now time to turn my focus to the local races. Tri and Du Season is here and I want to be ready. My buddy Mike and I will be training together to help push and keep each other motivated. It looks like May 15th the Runners Forum Duathlon could be a good one to start with.

This race is over

The LBL Challenge is finally over. We finished in 8th place in 12h 45m. It was a tough race. Our team did a great job with only a few minor mess ups. The race was a trek/run, bike, paddle, trek/run, bike. By the end we were hurting and hungry. We took a wrong turn at the end and got off course. At that point we were out of food and water. We made it back to the finish riding on empty. The finish lights, sounds, and smells never felt so good. I was very dehyrated at that point and was ready to be done. It was a great team victory for us. I had a great time overall.

Oh ya those are my legs in the picture post race. What an adventure!!! Love it.

Hydrate

Food and Hydration is key to adventure racing. When you go out for a bike ride or a long run you always take a water bottle. Well this is at least a 12 hour long bike and run. One water bottle is not going to cut it. I have been hydrating all week to ensure good results. I am also topping off my carbs so I am fully charged. I can't wait to get down to b-town to meet up with the team tomorrow.
