On Friday at 3 am Pacific Time I will be on course in the Baja 1000, the longest non-stop cross country race in the world. Again, I will be in the solo class called the Ironman Class. My son Tanner will be racing in the same class. Last year I joined my son as one of only 20 riders to ever finish solo, in 34 1/2 hours straight on a motorcycle in rough desert terrain.
Why? Why would I do it again? It’s super dangerous and horrible pain and suffering.
Good question. And now that I finished last year, my answer is that it’s a magnificent personal challenge.
Doing hard things like this makes the rest of life seems easy. Challenge makes you tough. And this one gives me a reason to train all year.
I’m ready.
Live tracking at score-international.com. I’m #714x and Tanner is 775x.
Good luck Ironman!
Awesome mindset! I just recently finished reading your booklet on this race from a couple years ago – very inspiring and kudos to you and Tanner. You’re going to be great – Connecticut will be thinking & cheering for you in these days ahead!
