Those who have completed the Moab XStreme Adventure Race know that it far exceeds your expectations. You just never know what your mind and body are capable of until get out there and face the challenge. It may seem like a nice little ride accross the slick rock, but should you set yourself to the test, you will see that the road through Long's Canyon and over to Gemini Bridges requires you to dig deep in your energy reserves and keep pushing forward despite the loose sand and dry heat. A couple of mashed peanut butter sandwiches, shot blocks, electrolyte packets and liters of water help keep you fueled and lucid during the journey. The kayaks require endurance, patience and some coordinated technique. The repel in the middle of the race was a major bonus - well worth the hard work to get there and back. Three hundred feet (almost) is a great repel whether its your first or one-hundredth. Team Die Hard flew down that thing with style! After I descended first I took a few photos and videos of the rest of the team. Hopefully there is a way of posting videos here. If you want a copy of the videos I can send one to you. I am excited for next year!
