If there is one thing that can be said for adventure racing, its that you never stop learning, and you never give up. Actually, I guess that's two things! Well, at any rate, as mentioned in James' race report, I was also at the Raid Pulse race going solo. Unofficially, racing AGAINST James and Nat :-). Of course, I was pretty sure that I would get my butt kicked by James. He has been on an absolute winning streak. Congrats! However, that didn't stop me from trying!
I was not only racing, but also getting some footage to put together a video race review, which you can see below. Sadly for me, I lost my passport in the big trekking section (it was [lossely] tied around my neck). Spent about 15 minutes backtracking, which in an 8 hour race is an eternity. This lead (unknown to me) to a drop of several rankings in the overall standings, but I did maintain my 3rd place solo, clearing almost the entire course (only missed the final 2 advanced CPs, which only 3 teams nabbed). To read my whole blog post just head over to my site.
As for the video, check it out here:
