Other side of the fence

On Saturday I enjoyed a race from a non-participant angle. I actually enjoyed it very much. I attended the Lake Charles adventure race in the capacity of race photographer, and coach/cheerleader for a friend. This was my first experience with an adventure race and it was very cool. You have to be extremely fit, a good runner, biker, swimmer, and paddler, as well as mentally sharp and also work as a 3 person team. Very challenging to say the least. The winning time was 2 hours 39 minutes. The winners were awesome:

So today after watching everyone push their selves to the limits on Sat. Chad and I did a 20 mile mountain bike ride and it felt really great to get out there and play hard. I am so happy that we share so many of the same interest. Life is good.
