Video Is Here

Here are the video updates throughout the race. We didn't do a video after lap 8 because I could barely stay awake to even get my wet clothes off and ward off hypothermia. It was crazy, brutal, and I loved every minute of it.

Wounded Warrior

So one thing you should know about Dan is that he is a retired military veteran that suffers from PTSD. Running with him made this experience more meaningful hearing about how he is coping and getting help for his condition. The donations that some of you made to The Wounded Warrior Project help people like my new friend Dan. Thank you again. 

Done. No- DONE

So my daughter NAt has been posting all race. I made it to 40 miles over a 19 hour period. Words cannot express the test this was not only physically but mentally too. I have the utmost respect for the individuals that do this. Currently the leader is at 95 miles. That is just plain insane with this course. Thank you again to all those praying for me and supporting me. It kept me going. The last quote for today - "Yo Adrian.  - I did it."

WTM Update:7

Lap number 7, this does NOT feel like Heaven. The wind has definitely picked up and doesn't look like stopping any time soon. Time: 2 hours. 35 miles down. Had to stop in the pit to warm up for a bit before heading back out. They really take brutal to a whole new standard. I'm dedicating this lap to The Holy Spirit, who's showing us through these powerful powerful winds that his presence is strong here. Not so inspirational-inspirational quote: "This feels like the 8th grade. It's only fun once."

WTM Update 6

Lap six, bringing out the kicks! 30 miles in and it's starting to feel like the Tricities with this dust storm coming in! Bring out those bandanas, Mudders. Time: 2 hours and 22 mins. Staying on track mighty fine heading into this early morning. I'm dedicating this lap to the inventors of the wet-suit. Without them, cold would be an understatement. Inspirational quote: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."

WTM Update:5

Lap 5, feelin alive! Just finished mile 25. Still cold and a little shoe malfunctions but still stickin with it. Time: 2 hours 28 minutes. Warm chicken broth,a Snickers and a few pit crew members sure helps during these cold nights. I'm doin this lap for The Outsiders, as they all say, I'm doin it for Johnny!! Inspirational quote: "You're fast like a gazzel, you can do it." -Nacho Libre

WTM Update 4

Lap number 4 and I still want more! The cramps are coming in so it's banana time. Time: 2 hours and 10 min. Black-Ops have started which means head lamps and wetsuits. Dedicating this lap to my man Dan from Wisconsin who just happens to be my tent partner and Mudder run partner. Inspirational quote: "You gotta risk it to get the biscuit." -An Unknown Genius. 

WTM Update: 3

Lap 3, look at me! Starting to cool down on this beautiful day. Time: 1 hour and 51 minutes. Speedin it up so fast my pit crew missed me! Cah-Chowww!

Dedicating this lap to all my Hospice patients who would've loved to be out here too. Inspirational quote: "Do or do not, there is no try." -Yoda

WTM Update:2

Lap 2, whoo hoo! Still pumped and ready for more. Time: 2 hours, 10 mins. Long lines waiting for that 30 ft drop at "The Cliff." Dedicating this lap to all the donators and supporters of The Wounded Warrior Project and myself. Thanks to all. Inspirational quote of the lap: "There may be people who have more talent than you, but there is no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do." -Derek Jeter. 10 miles down, many more to come.

WTM Update:1

1st lap complete! Started us out with a sprint lap, no obstacles.Time:1hr, stayin on track. Feeling great and thankful that the hills are NOT like Badger. Dedicating this lap to my pit crew, Toxinator and Nattadorr. Inspirational quote #1: "And David put his hand in a bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen." -Preacher Purl, Hoosiers.

Pit

Home for the next 24 hours.

Settin up camp

It's gettin close to go time

Day of reckoning

Rise and shine. 

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. (Psalm 40:1-2 NIV)

The last. Supper

Pit crew dinner

Leavin on a jet plane

Part of my pit crew - daughter Natalie - and me waiting at the airport getting ready to leave for Vegas. Humbled and thankful for all those who have wished me well. Looking forward to tomorrow!
