I'm off to Ecuador for the Huairasinchi adventure race! We're team #5, APEX Race - Alpine Expedition Switzerland, and our sponsor for the race is at www.TheApexRace.com. Besides the main race website in Ecuador, look for some updates on us over at the Facebook page for the APEX race (http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-APEX-Race-AR-World-Series-Switzerland/117885878278709).
The glamour of packing for a big race evaporated about 3 or 4 races ago, and now packing is really something I don't look forward to. But I'm done, and I even conjured up a video of some of the packing (a couple people requested something along these lines -- and our dog Boli really likes being on camera). Maybe you've always wondered what it was like to prep for a big race like this?
I also wrote this article for Explore Compete Live Magazine about the race in Ecuador and some of what we're in for starting this Friday. I'm really looking forward to racing and exploring a part of the world I've never been to.
You can send us some well-wishes through the official Ecuador race website's "message" feature at http://huairasinchi.com.ec/recados.html. I think the team that gets the most online support wins a prize like a pineapple or a Viva Ecuador t-shirt, so help us out and send us a "go team APEX, carry Grant to the finish line" message!
