Prepping for the Eco-Challenge
Question: I’m young, unemployed, and I think crazy because I really want to do an Eco-Challenge. I don’t think I’m in enough shape to do the big 300-mile one, but I’ve heard about a mini-Eco-Challenge. How do I learn more about it? How should I train? Is there a way to get sponsors?

begin their 300-mile punishment


国产吃瓜黑料 Adviser: You’re NUTS … hardly! Plenty of people are being bitten by this push-yourself-to-the-limits-of-human-endurance bug, just not everyone has the desire to subject themselves to 300-plus miles of physical pain and suffering. That’s where the ‘s 国产吃瓜黑料 Racing Series comes in an abbreviated (albeit barely) version of the big Kahuna.

The series starts at Point Mugu State Park in Malibu, California, April 11-13 and continues, nonstop, for 120 miles and 24 hours. Disciplines include mountain biking, sea kayaking, non-technical climbing, hiking, and backcountry navigation. The winning team will be invited to race in this summer’s big Eco-Challenge (touted as “the most difficult to date”) in Australia. Cost
is a still-steep $1,000 per team of four. Call 310-553-8855 for training suggestions and registration details.
