Follow my team of 3 newbies to the sport during a three hour adventure race in central Wisconsin. On a cold, but sunny January day, where I still managed to fall in a creek. We lose the check-point key. Go sledding. And have one of the best days since being a kid. What a day, and what a race!
We learned some lessons on what not to do during an Adventure Race, but most importantly we learned how to capture the spirit of youth again. There is just something magical about running through the woods and flying down the road on bikes with your friends. That childlike wonderment about the world comes back. It doesn’t matter that it’s cold out, or that you’re hungry or getting tired. Those things don’t even register. Right back into a life where each day was full of possibility and your only limitation was when mom called you in at the end of the day for dinner.
