Well after the success of this weekends training race we thought we'd move over to the 'non conventional thread' and see who's available for the remainder of the year.
I'm afraid so. One of the reasons I phoned Ace was to see when the race finished in the hope that I could maybe do the race and attend a wedding reception. With the race finishing at 4, i'd be cutting it too fine to get to the wedding.
I am doing an adventure racing training weekend this Friday. Can you usually start racing pretty much straight after a brief initiation like this? I dont want to buy a kayak just yet.
GaryT - not all adventure racers involve canoeing, the main elements you need are legs and a bike, after that I think that they are pretty much whatever the organisers want them to be. Who are you doing your training with?
My running should be a bit better than it is now, though I doubt if my navigation skills will be any better than they are now, so if you're stuck for numbers to complete a team count me in.
hi Gary T - I have just entered a Dynamic Adventure Racing event. The one on 18th July somewhere in the North Downs. It just involves a 2 hour run and a 3 hour mountainbike. No canoes - which is good 'cos I have never been in one!!!
This'll be my first adventure race and I'm really looking forward to it.

Are you going to enter it?
I'm intrigued by the 'special team challenges'!
Sounds like fun - can't do this one though, I'm at a wedding :-)
What's the date for the October event?
