I was up at Hurkey Creek this past Saturday (28th) to check out a mountain bike race that a couple of friends were involved in. The race was called 24 Hours of Adrenalin, but there are different classes within this race. For example; Co-ed 2 person 8-hour race, 2 person 8-hour race, solo 8 hour race, a 5 person 24 hour race (thats insane!), and many others. Well, my friends were involved in the 2 person 8-hour race where each person would alternate their laps for the 8 hour duration and try to finish as many laps as they can. Oh, did i mention each lap is a 9.5 mile trek up into the wilderness and averages about an hour to complete. (YIKES!)
anyway, here are some shots that I took throughout the day!
This last one is of Christian trying to pull off an ironman flex on the uphill portion.
It was a well executed and organized race and I think I will start training for their September race. I wonder if my body and mind can handle a 9.5 mile lap every other hour for 8 hours. we will see..
Thanks,
Michael
