Well for the past several weeks I've been training for another adventure race. This one is located just down the street in Woodstock, GA, whereas the last race I went to was in Toccoa. That makes for not such an early morning of race day. This race has the same layout and general characteristics of the first one I did in that it's a combination of mountain biking and running with a little bit of orienteering involved. We chose to do the 6 hour race which has now been lengthened to an 8 hour race. There are 12 hour and 24 hour versions as well but they are a little too much for our team. The 8 hour race would be more than enough.
I've been mountain biking and running to get the stamina for this race but I think I'm a little short on the running training currently. I wish I got a sooner start to train. Instead of running some days, I've been heading down to the Silver Comet after work with some guys from work to ride on that trail about 20 to 30 miles or so. On August 15th we have planned to ride the entire length, 100 miles in one day! I think my legs can propel me that far, I'm just worried about my butt on that little bike seat for about 6-7 hours!
Well after this weekend I'll post our time and ranking in the Gold Rush race. Pray that we do well and don't kill ourselves!
