Functional Fitness Movement Standards

June 16th, 2010 Mark 2 comments

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.

thanks

Wilderness Traverse 24 hour race New!

After lamenting the loss of classic, wilderness-based, 24hr adventure races from the Ontario multisport calendar Bob Miller has decided to re-introduce this exciting format of racing. The inaugural Wilderness Traverse will be a ‘back-to-basics’ adventure race where coed and open teams of 3 or 4 will mountain bike, paddle, and trek across a remote region of the Haliburton Highlands. Route choices throughout all disciplines will be abundant, making navigation strategy a key element of a team’s ability to go the distance. The racecourse itself is roughly 130 km in distance and teams will have up to 30 hours to complete it. The event is designed to attract all-levels of adventure enthusiasts who want to push their physical and mental limits in an awe-inspiring backcountry setting. Physical fitness will be an asset but mental fortitude and a team-first attitude will be a deciding factor in who achieves their goals.

The event website can be found at the following link: www.wildernesstraverse.com
