Extreme Sports: Want to race faster? Go higher? Be more Xtreme?You came to the right place! Extreme-Adventure-Sports.com is about a passion for adventure sports, adrenaline, extreme gear (my favorite!), nutrition and fitness. Discover information that takes you to the top of your sport. WHAT GEAR, NUTRITION AND TRAINING DO YOU NEED?  When I entered the adventure sports world, there was a lot of information on extreme sports, but no
hard-core fitness plans,
gear guides or
nutrition plans on how to get to the top. I was blessed to race with a professional adventure racer and world-class tri-athlete. For a year, I questioned him every day. How fast do you ride your mountain bike? How many hours do you train for an extreme expedition race? How do you rappel? Ascend? White water raft? Practice mountaineering? What do you eat? The responses were awesome and honest. Extreme-Adventure-Sports.com is about sharing the nutrition advice, skills training, fitness plans (this is not for wimps!), gear tips and of course great race stories I learned about. Also...There are free extreme fitness and nutrition plans from sprint to expedition races. Or you can follow my exact training plan to Primal Quest by following my blog! WHY EXTREME SPORTS?  Why? I get asked that question all the time. I ask myself the same question.
In fact I can't think of a race where I did not ask-why? Though I can't say they are sane reasons...the following is a list of why! THE EXTREME ADVENTURES  It's 450 ft straight down...... I step backwards. The river flows below. My adrenaline races...I am free.Then my hand grasps for the rope. It is taunt and I rappel down the rock cliff. It is day 3 of Primal Quest, the toughest adventure race on earth. Now this is adventure! After 72 hours of racing, I've had... one hour of sleep infected feet trekked 50 miles with 30 pounds of gear kayaked 45 miles biked 65 miles done canyoneering for 20 miles ...and we have 250 miles to go! Find the rest of my story and more extreme sports stories and extreme adventures by going to race reports. You can even watch our Team (#59 Team Intrepid) as we tackle the mountains, white water, and 100,00 ft (no that was not a typo!) of elevation in Montana on June 23, 2008. The race is Primal Quest called the toughest race on earth. Follow our blog and we will remind you when to log on to the Primal Quest site to follow our team.
