Here are a few more tips for Primal Quest success, this time courtesy of Kim Dunkin. Kim says:

1) Take care of your feet. No matter how fast you are if you have bad feet you are a liability.

Tip: Read Jon Vonhoff’s book Fixing Your Feet

2) The treadmill is your friend if you do not live in a hilly area. Put boards underneath the front  to increase the grade. Hike/Run up to 2 hours on a full incline.

I found it helped my strength for climbing on foot and the bike.

3) Be able to run 20 miles, bike 100 miles then kayak for 4-6 hours on the same day before you get to the starting line.

4) Be sure you love your team, it is a long race together!

Great tips! Simple but also very effective. To read more of Kim’s tips and thoughts on adventure racing and endurance sports, head over to her website at Extreme-Adventure-Sports.com.
