Trans-Iowa V2 Recon: Complete

The course is set! Trans-Iowa V2 will be a good kick in the junk. As a rider who survived the first half last year, I can say that this years running will be a bit...err...a bit more difficult. All I can say to those racing is chose your weapons wisely. G-Ted has layed out a heinous course. Come prepared!

And now, some pictures to wet your endurance racing whistle.

Proper nutrition is needed for 2 days and 500+ miles of driving in the countryside. And, NO, the beef jerky and Red Bull is not mine.



Yum. It's a B-Level Road. Hope it don't rain.



B-Road. Can I have more?



Why sure you can. How about thirds?



Heck yeah. You'll get enough of these to make a pig happy.



Rutted out goodness thanks to the high school hillbillies and their big arse 4x4 pickups.



This B-Road was bad for my car.



Note B-Road facial expression.



Then there are the flat and mind numbing sections....



...notice the extreme excitement.



The wildlife in Iowa is everywhere. I think the Bull Head is the Iowa state fish. Or not.



Worst case scenerio...Trans-Iowa nutrition?

That's a wrap. The hard part of planning this race is over. We have a few details to thumb over, but we'll be good to go here very soon. Make sure you scope out G-Ted's site. He'll have some other thoughts on the course.

So are you prepared?

Time to get back to training. T-minus 1 month..give or take a few days...till my first race.

Oh, you want to see my top-secret nutritional supplement?
