After watching the Eco-Challenge and other races on tv and wishing I was there, I finally took the initiative to get in shape. After a few months of training I started with a couple of short Triathlons. They were fun, but they were not providing me with the off road and navigational endurance test I wanted. I then did the Berryman Adventure Race in 2003. Getting lost, chest deep in thorns, sliding on my rear down a cliff, it was 8 hours of hell, but lived up to what I had watched on tv for the past couple of years.
Now I am hooked!
