Preparing for my first 18 hour Adventure Race
07/19/2010 03:54:11 P.M.I've been participating in Adventure Races with Pangea Adventure Racing here in Orlando for over a year now. My first one was a wakeup to how out of shape I was, but I still managed to complete the 5 hour race. We didn't place great in that race, but we weren't at the bottom of the rankings either. After that race I was crazy enough to sign up for more and attempt to increase my fitness and endurance level. It's hard to say if I have been improving since you can always continually work on muscle strength and endurance, but each race I felt better and better at the finish line. Now I'm approaching my biggest milestone in Adventure Racing, an 18 hour race, mostly through the dark called the Nocturnal Challenge.
