Wow! As I make this entry, I am sitting on a huge porch at Amee Farm Lodge overlooking the Amee Barn which is the "Command Center" for the 2011 Peak Death Race. The rain is falling steadily and it is a cool 55 degrees outside. The first "meeting" of the day was to be a parachute packing class at noon. Everyone milled around asking "where do we go." It didn't take long to figure out that this was certainly just the first of many mind games being played by race organizers; how long will these people walk around in the pouring rain look for a "meeting" before they give up. Patrick is taking a nap!
The people here are awesome and the energy is contagious. We have seen more CrossFit tshirts here than we've seen anywhere! We have had a lot of interesting conversations and actually met a gym owner from Birmingham, Alabama. We will definitely visit his gym next time we are there.
I am honestly so happy here and so incredibly proud of Patrick for even signing up for such insanity. To do something like this takes an large amount of mental toughness. Without it, you are toast.
I look forward to posting about it the rest of the weekend.
Have fun!
