48 hours and counting……

Finally. The Thunder Rolls 24HR race begins at midnight on Friday. This is going to be a great race but we have one significant problem…..our female (Jess) ended up tearing a calf muscle last week and is out of commission. So this week has been spent calling, posting and basically begging female athletes across the Midwest to join our team……yeah you can imagine the luck we have been getting “excuse me, you have run a few marathons and/or tri’s right? What do you say about competing in this Adventure Race? Well, it starts at midnight (keep in mind we have to drive 6 hours to get there), you’ll be running with four strange (I do mean strange) guys for nearly 24 straight hours, you can expect mountain biking, running (through dense woods with poison ivy and other stinging stuff), canoeing, some Tyrolean traverses, and some swamp crossing/swimming. Oh yeah, we also want to finish in the top three.

Needless to say it looks like we are going with four pairs of X and Y chromosomes (no female).

Should be a great race.
