GEAR, NUTRITION AND TRAINING
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.
See our Adventure racing pages with links to all of the questions I asked and see honest answers from pro racer Bill Lovelace.
Also...There are free extreme fitness tips and nutrition plans from sprint to expedition races. Or you can follow see how I trained for Primal Quest by looking in adventure stories!
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 Adrenaline
Push my body to the limits
Because I can
Competition
Embellish stories
Passion for the Outdoors and Adventure The dramatic opening of Primal Quest.
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!
