So a buddy of mine talked me into doing an adventure race with him and two other guys, so we'll have a 4 man team. I've never done any race of any kind, but I am a workout nut although my training is mainly geared towards weight lifting. This race is 12 hours long or an intermediate race, guess we should've signed up for the beginner race, but we're signed up at this point so here we go. Anyone ever done anything like this? Any tips you can give would be helpful, I have no idea how I'm going to approach the training for this event yet.
Here's what it involves:
Flat Water Paddling
Mountain Biking
Orienteering
Road Biking
Trekking
Land Navigation
Team Challenges/Mystery Events
12-hr Distances (subject to change:
Bike: 24-36 miles
Trek/Orienteering/Land Navigation: 8-13 miles
Paddle: 6-10 miles
