Tonight our special guest is Andrew Jefferies and Andrew's main activity is Adventure racing, something he is very passionate about. Adventure racing is generally 2 or 3 different activities with a running component and a tracking component and perhaps a biking component added. In other words a Multi-disciplinary team sport. Always with a map and checkpoints, there are several different versions of this format. Four to eight hours is the
typical local race time but there are some that go for two to four days, holy cow. Andrew tells us how and why Adventure racing became a large part of his life. After doing their first race of 4 hours their next race was for 48 hours. A huge escalation for only being 2 races in but it worked for Andrew and his friend Wayne, they were certainly hooked. We talk about sleep deprivation and nutrition and how you don't have any idea of the route until 1 hour before the start. This makes planning and strategy tough indeed. Some fantastic stories about past races and the experiences that Andrew has had while Adventure racing, makes this a must-listen, especially for those that want to challenge themselves.
