No concern to us
"Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us; for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist."
As soon as I read about the PEAK Death Race, "a challenging race that may kill you", I knew I had to sign-up! I just want to see how far I can make it.
I created this blog as a place to gather information about the event, log my training, share details of other events, and to keep me motivated.
I attended the 2009 Death Race as a spectator on June 27th 2009. Here are some photos from the event and a race report from last year.
I also competed in the 2010 PEAK Snowshoe Challenge "Death Division" on March 5th and 6th 2010. I was eliminated by a time cut-off after 16 hours. I was one of only 4 people left in the race.
I have already recruited Kristin (my better half) and my good friends Aaron, Tania and Patrick as support crew. My buddy Patrick from PA was planning on racing, but was injured during training.
It is going to take a hell of a lot of work to get in shape for this 24 hour dance with death.
