About The Carlsbad Adventure Racing Meetup

Adventure Racing - while known as an extreme Eco-Challenge type event, can be done by any of us with the desire to do so. There are races from 3-6 hours, 6-12, 24 hours and of course the weeklong races you've seen on TV. Fitness is important as you can imagine, but often times - finishing comes down to determination and the mental aspect as much as the physical components of the racing.

I haven't found anything as challenging or enjoyable as doing Adventure Races. I enjoy all the disciplines as well as the "mystery events" that tend to appear now and then. I like that you're only as strong as your weakest link. You are definitely a team and failing to act like one will not only slow you down but could get you DQ'd.

Anyway, I can't wait to find more people in our area that want to train, race, and just have fun with AR. We'll get some regular meeting scheduled, and will certainly start posting some workouts too.
