Something new in Adventure Racing? Not really, in ESAR we have always had special tasks, and this is just another challenge. This video is to help you be more prepared when you hit the functional fitness checkpoint. You have to complete 45 burpees as a team in order to punch into the control and to move on in the race. Post any questions to thoughts to comments and I will do my best to answer then.
This event was passed onto ESAR from John Klich a Toronto paramedic, adventure racer, and former 5 peaks race director for Ontario. Lets take care of one of our own.
In February of 2009, Toronto Paramedic Kevin Mills was horribly injured in a swimming accident resulting in parapalegia. Kevin has a wife and a young son. Kevin has defied all expectations about the improvement of his condition and has gained function all the doctors said he never would. Kevin is taking part in an incredible rehab program that is designed to gain maximum function for victims of paralysis. This prgram is not covered by benefits or health insurance and is quite expensive. Kevin intends to beat this challenge.
Help Kevin reach his full potential, participate in Step It Up For Kevin. This is a 6 hour spinathon featuring bikes and treadmills.
Riders and runners may participate for a portion or the entire duration as a solo or as part of a relay team for a specified portion of the event. Participants may even sign up for both modalities creating their own duathlon experience.
The event host is Wynn Fitness located in the 401 and Keele area. All aspects of the event will take place in the group fitness studio. Wynn Fitness is offering event participants access to their amenities including change rooms with lockers and sauna, day use of the club, and ample parking.
Collect pledges and make this event a huge success for Kevin.
