Three races in 2 years. We had a dream. Race in an adventure race.
We love it. The experience challenged us to reached our potential.
I damaged my right knee 2 years ago and I stopped racing.
It's a goal I am aiming for in the near future. To race again.
My team mates have been keeping fit and I will need a lot of work
to catch up. But what a buzz to be back as a team.
What
is adventure racing?
It's a multidiscipline race that involves moutain biking, trail
running, rock climbing, rappeling, kayaking, orienteering, etc.
It is up to the fancy of the race organisers to put in any combination
of disciplines to torture... er... challenge the participants. A
race may take 6 - 18 hours or in the case of Eco Challenge: 10 days
or less.
Yes, it's categorized as an extreme race, cos people have died
doing these races. Besides that, it is very much exhilirating.
