Off to the races

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

This is a big weekend.  Sunday is the Vancouver Half Marathon.  Good luck to all of the runners who have been working so hard.  The weather forecast looks perfect!  I will be thinking of you.

As for me, I am also off to the races.  I will be racing in Desert Winds Adventure Race described on the official web site as:

The Desert Winds 24 – The Hardcore 24 Hour Adventure Race
What: Mountain Biking, Trekking/Running, Swimming
Where: Lake Mead, Nevada and Arizona

There is a really cool feature I just discovered on their website.  You can watch teams during the race!  We are Team Verve.  Watch us race here.  It looks like there are 15 teams registered.  There is going to be some serious competition.  Why are we named Team Verve?  Here is the definition of Verve: Energy and enthusiasm in the expression of ideas, especially in artistic performance or composition: The revival lacked the verve of the original musical.  Vitality; liveliness.  

I am nervous, anxious and excited. I will file a full report with photos upon my return.

Have a great weekend and good races this weekend!
