Adventure races are such a huge challenge Aat when you enter a race,you always think,Am Iready? Did Itrain enough?” Iremember one race in particular,my very first Eco-Challenge and only my second race ever. (The Eco-Challenge race is a multi-day event where teams of four men and women compete non-stop over a 300-mile course which includes canoeing,horse riding,scuba diving, mountaineering,mountain biking and so on.) I have never felt that unprepared and frightened in my whole life. My background was cross-country running in high school and college where a two- or three-mile race seemed long. Most of my fear was due to lack of experience and knowledge. I really had no idea what I was getting into. I had done one 24-hour race that happened to be an Eco-Challenge qualifier(资格赛) . I was like a deer cawlit in headlights the whole way. However,we won the race and were invited to compete in Australia.
In preparation for that Eco-Challenge in Australia,I tried to approach my training in a methodical(系统的) way. But my approach consisted of simply trying to run,bike and canoe as much and as hard as I could. I was also working at the same time. Actually,I was training a couple of hours a day during the week to get fit and at weekends training with the team for perhaps four hours. That was how much I had prepared.
So,we went to Australia and entered the race. We didn’ t plan a 对ra纪gy (策略) at all,but just ran as fast as possible from the'start. It was a furious (紧张的) 36 hours. We arrived at a few of the check points in first place and were among the top five. But I knew we didn’t belong there.
To cut a long story short,two of my teammates decided not to continue the race after just a day and a half. One was just too tired to carry on.Another had severe problems with his feet. The other two of us,feeling fresh still,had to drop out with the rest of our team. Four days later,watching the winners cross the finishing line was bittersweet.
