If you end up signing up let me know, I'd probably do it with you guys. I am definitely doing the one in Ohio in April. It looks like Columbus is getting one soon, too.

I'm doing the November 20 one in Chicago/Indiana.

Probably going to be cold as hell.

Yeah, I'd imagine it's going to be freezing balls. You doing it with a team or by yourself?

A few friends are doing it as well.

Lol just checked the average temps for Chicago:

November:

Average High Temperature: 47°F (8°C)
Average Low Temperature: 32°F (0°C)

December:

Average High Temperature: 35°F (2°C)
Average Low Temperature: 21°F (-6°C)

Since it's late November split the difference and say Nov. 20:
High 41
Low 27

Fuck yes. The water obstacles are going to blow.

I assume you're excited. At least it shouldn't be that cold for you.

Also, donate people.

Did you do any special training for it? On their website they have a cool interval routine.

I'm pretty much constantly training for these sort of things. It wouldn't be bad to do their interval routine.

What I will say is run hills. Run hills. Run hills. Run hills. Your legs will be dead from the hills, you can be in fantastic physical condition and not be "winded" but just not have enough in your legs to do as much as you want. So run hills and do some leg lifting is a big suggestion of mine.

And wear gloves.

Nice...i'm looking forward to it. Be nice to have some motivation to train to.

Sorry guys the daughter and I have to bailed out.
She has a project that will be coming to a end sooner that expected and that could required her to do some last minute addendums/drawing before final proposal for building permits.
On Sunday hurt my foot, deep medial cuneiform bone bruise. </SPAN>

She and I are now focusing on 2012 event… "Buck List for me"</SPAN>

I wouldn't call necrophilia "adventurous" as much as "creepy."

This is what's wrong with the world today, no vision.
