From a basketball tournament to an endurance challenge…
What was supposed to be a relaxing weekend at a basketball tournament watching our varsity team, turned into me spending time with a friend attempting a 4x4x48 challenge. Despite not training, and doing this last minute, it was a great experience. I felt like I was doing a wimpy version of it by only doing 4 miles on a bike. A lot of people do this challenge running 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours. I would have no knees left if I did this, so I decided on doing 6 miles, every 4 hours for 48 miles on my bicycle. I knew this would be good training for my upcoming bike trip, where I will be doing close to eighty miles each day. This was a fun challenge and I was able to finish! My buddy who, by the way, made it 12 hours was not able to. However, he had a double lung and liver transplant less than two years ago. I want to try this again in a year and maybe actually train to run this. Another thing to add to my list of 50 things.
