Lisa Buckingham & Sheri Strpko got Adventure!!
Sheri Strpko and I were looking to take a long weekend, girls trip; after much consideration, we decided on Denver, CO as it was central to many opportunites. We started on Friday In Salida, CO, at "Captain Zipline" - where our guides, Kelly and Randy, took us through the instructions on braking and what happens if we start spinning. Once we got through the intial introduction to "zipping" we were on our way.......there was some hiking to reach our starting destination, but having both gone through many kettlebell classes, the hiking and the altitude did not bother us.
On Sunday, we were going to hike at Rocky Mountain National Park, elevation to the top 14,000+. We knew we weren't going to go that far as you have to start out pretty early in the morning for that as you must begin your descent with enough time to make it out before it got dark.
Thank goodness we felt well prepared for our adventure from X Training with kettlebells!

Hamlin Blast By Phast-Play Hard Adventure Sports and Tours
Mission COMPLETE! The Hamlin Blast 8 hour adventure race is done!
The weather decided to play some tricks on Jeff & I by giving us rain, wind, and cold tempertures but that didn't stop anyone from finishing this grueling race. With over 20+ miles of biking, 6+ miles of canoeing (in the wind), and 10+ miles of trekking/orienterring, we were both pretty tired for that last 2.5 mile run to the finish. Luckily, the race was in Ludington, so the location couldn't of been better. We had the dunes, lakes, woods, rolling hills......everything an adventure racer could ask for!
Compared to last year, this course was much more difficult. The mandatory and optional checkpoints were both found along the way, so each team had to work on time management to finish on time and with all the points they wanted and could get.
Overall, it was a great time.
The weather could always be worse and it just adds more adventure to the race ;)
Hope to see you all next time!!
