Vail Adventure Race

The start of the "HELL HILL" and 12 miles of extreme pain for Dan!!!
The team from left to right: TroyBlanchard, Dan, Kendrick and Josh Neilson
Dan got this hair brain idea to get a group together to do an adventure race. He and three other guys agreed to do it. The race included 12 miles of biking straight up a steep hill, 8 miles trecking and then ending with 6 miles of river rafting. Dan said the biking kicked his butt and from the looks of him after the 6 hour race, it really did!! We were proud of them, they finished third and gor a bronze metal. One of my highlights of the trip was definately the 8 hour trip!! Just kidding we got to stop and get melons from Green River that was my highlight. They were yummy!

Fun pictures... We are proud of Dan too. I could never do that. I think I would just give up on the first mile.
Glad you had fun.
