Death Race

June 2009… Decided to enter Death Race 2010.

Fall 2009 – Spring 2010… Trained with Purpose. Ridiculous Purpose

June 25, 2010… Created a nutrition strategy to work brilliantly on June 26, 2010 (Death Race day)

June 25, 2010… Death Race coordinators threw us a surprise event. 9 hours early.

June 25-26, 2010… I reached a level of dehydration so severe it took me until 2 days ago to finally recover (15 days).

June 26, 2010… After numerous attempts to quit due to severity of dehydration my alpha Mike Signori wouldn’t let me quit.

June 26, 2010… After 25 hours and 34 minutes of the coolest mayhem I’ve encountered to date I officially reached my “time of death” at 8:34 p.m. on Saturday night.

June 27, 2010… I decide to enter Death Race 2011. This time understanding they may make us start earlier thus my nutritional strategy will reflect a practical approach.

Conclusion:
My nutritional strategy completely backfired, thus resulting in a dehydration issue which led to a failed finish. But a remarkable experience.

Summer 2010… Training with a greater purpose 😉
