Peak Races McNaughton Ultra

Spring has sprung and the fun, adventures and even a little torture are here.
A few of us recently went down to Pittsfield VT to run in the Peak Races,McNaughton Ultra Trail Run.
One guy who i've been training for a year plus went out and killed it! Chris Thompson showed a lot of heart and drive as he blasted out 3 ten mile laps that had over 2,400 feet of elevation gain per lap and lots of technical up and down.
Got a little antsy the night before the run and the organizer let me head out and do some laps via headlamp. did one lap with Will Castle then headed back out for another before getting a few hours of sleep and limped through another lap due to an injury but got my 30 which is more miles than i've run total my whole life i'm pretty sure. Will woke up the next day and did 3 more laps plus Death Race Training. The kid is on fire!

We were rocking the Mocean Mate' tent, keeping runners fueled up throughout the day and early evening. good times.
big congrats to Chris, Will and big ups to the race organizer, Andy at Peak Races for having us. And we couldn;t have done it without our support crew, Meg and Bethany!

Peak Races "Spartan Race" 2010





Peak Races is quickly become very renowned in the world of adventure and endurance racing for their challenging and at times, diabolical courses and events. As some of you may know, this past season  I traveled to Pittsfield Vt to compete in the Death Race along with my support crew/filmer etc, Vange Morse. The course was insane in every way and truly tested my limits.

Peak Races has many other races, all geared towards pushing you to the limit. The new and exciting one is called, The Spartan Race. The race series will be held all over the world with a local race happening at Bolton Valley on May 16th that some of us will be competing in. Think of this race as a "mini-Death Race sprint" with challenging and yet to be named obstacles and challenges. We will also offer this for the Boston event in October.

Mocean365 will be offering a 3 month "Warrior Training by Mocean365" to prepare people for this event. Included in this will be comprehensive a custom training program divided into 3 specific blocks with initial assessment and testing, a nutrition plan and consultation by our Nutrition and Wellness partner "Rootwise", 3 1 hour training sessions(one per month within one hour of Waterbury VT) unlimited text, phone and email support, discount on some of our partners gear such as Indo Board Balance Trainer's, Rubberbanditz resistance bands, F-Stop Gear, and 1 jar of Vermont Peanut Butter of your choice. You will also qualify for discounted Mocean365 Training classes and individual sessions! 
Contact me for pricing and get on board because this will be limited to 10 people due to the amount of time and attention each person receives. mocean365@gmail.com

Keep in mind this will not only be limited to people in the race but would be a great way to fly into spring with new found conditioning and vigor! And for most this will serve as preparation for your Spartan Race either in Burlington(Bolton), Boston or BOTH! Get in the shape of your life while having fun!

peace
