Upcoming Adventure

My next race is the Nocturnal - I've been training my running hard to be able to keep up with my race partner May-li. After that I'm looking forward to a trip to Ecuador where Mickey and I will be flying out of Shell, Ecuador

to Pavacachi

and then paddling to Cononaco on the Peruvian border.

Here is a little closer look - yes, those 2 structures are the village of Cononaco. This is a pretty isolated stretch of the Amazon rain forest.

Death Race

Well - I couldn't make it to the death race this year. If you have not heard of the death race, you should check it out.

Death Race

I've got a lot of things going on, August 8 I'll be racing in the Nocturnal ( http://www.pangeaadventureracing.com/race.php?r=29 ) with May-li (and possibly a 3rd person) as team Off the Map. I'll have a full race report and pretty much figure she'll be dragging me all through the swamp while I stare at the maps. I have upped my running training a bit to get ready. At the end of August I'll be heading to Ecuador to help Mickey set up some fun activities in the Rain Forest for Eco-Xtreme adventures.

I am also in the early planning stages for an awesome bike race - the race will be 106 miles and will trace one of the early historic routes of Florida history.
