As I drove towards the New River Gorge area in West Virginia I didn’t exactly know what to expect from an adventure race, I’ve herd stories from Chris Radcliffe and had looked at photos from past races but I was still at a loss of exactly what was about to happen. We pulled up in the parking lot of ACE outfitters and I saw the Odyssey Adventure Racing shark fin flags and people scampering around, we hurried to a tent where they were having the race overview and I began to get a scope of the race and I knew that this was something that I wanted to be involved with.
