I guess a good extreme race for me would be across a frozen tundra, but still the six day thing will never happen.
Run and stay hydrated.

Just Say No
Greetings! Shannan and I are reading
a book about ultra marathons and extreme races. One that really got my
attention was a six (6) day trek through the Mojave Desert. I love the heat and
I love running in the desert, but I know this race is NOT for me. First of all,
who has six days for a road race? That's reserved for the seriously obsessed.
The real issue is my high tolerance to heat. I would surely perish in an event
like that one. I know that sounds backwards. Here’s the thing, intense heat and
dry air zaps the human body of moisture. You can get dehydrated before you know
what happened. I am positive that would happen to me. I'd be trotting along
delighting in the scorching environment and crash with no warnings whatsoever.
I guess a good extreme race for me would be across a frozen tundra, but still the six day thing will never happen.
Run and stay hydrated.
