On July 25-26 I will be in Roanoke, VA competing in a 24 hour adventure race called the Odyssey One Day AR. It will consist of Hiking, Mt. Biking, Paddling, Navigation/Orienteering and Off trail Bushwhacking covering between 70 and 90 miles! This will be a huge mental and physical test for me but I'm definitely up for the challenge. Luckily I'm already training for a Half Iron Man in September so a lot of the training can be crossed over fairly easily. I've never had to navigate an unmarked trail before so I'll need to practice that a few times before the event. Maybe this will spark some more extreme races that involve week long treks! The sky's the limit! The more important question is, how far can I push myself??
Here is the link to the website for the race: http://www.oarevents.com/events/2009/OneDayAR.shtml
I've got a sprint triathlon this weekend in Knoxville, TN. It's a short course so hopefully I'll benefit from it considering I've lost over 10 pounds from being sick over the past week. blah!
