Please read carefully--don’t say we didn’t warn you!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) This year race will be a point-to-point format with less than the usual number of optional points. The Expert course distance looks like this: biking – 20-25 miles, paddling – 8-10 miles, running/hiking – 5-12 miles. If you get lost, the extra miles are free of charge. Sport category will have some fun detours and additional biking instead of paddling, but overall distance will be the same. This year sport navigation might be harder than in previous years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;b&gt;Expert category will have teams of 2 and 4 racers ONLY&lt;/b&gt;. COED-4 is the prime division fighting for major prizes. Paddling will be 2 people per canoe with a chance of paddling with your bikes in the canoes (just short section). Canoes and paddles will be provided by Calleva, but racers must provide their own lifejackets. We will update the gear list soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Expert category racers will ride mandatory technical single tracks that are at least 5 miles long. No cyclocross bikes are allowed for the Expert category. Sport category racers are allowed to use any bikes, but many optional check points will be accessible only on mountain bikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Sport category will have no paddling this year, but racers must be ready for some other water activities. Calleva will provide all necessary gear--get ready for some extreme fun. This year Sport category will also have completely new challenges. Sorry Experts, you have no time for the challenges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Check-in will be at the same location (Riley’s Lock) and you will leave your cars there. BUT start AND FINISH of the race will be at two remote locations.  Racers will be bused to and from there by Calleva. Check the race schedule to see what time you will be brought back to your cars. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) To save you some bucks, Calleva is providing its own secure online payment service, eliminating fees to a third party provider. Registration is $75 per racer till May 31, $100 from June 1 to July 31 and $125 after that. The number of spots is limited and the race is always sold out. Online registration will close July 31.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ChXr_WQasjVSeINg1qb8mKINXZeUOP8OeFkyvLIi9p4" target=_"blank"&gt;Click here to read the registration instructions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://calleva.org/adventure-race/info.php" target="blank"&gt;Click here to access online registration.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can’t wait to see you in August!

Time to start counting down the days until the annual Calleva Adventure Race. This year's race is scheduled for Sunday, August 7. It might be cold and snowy right now, but you have 8 months to dream about paddling, biking and trekking through the Washington, DC area's own hot and humid August weather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/TSfDXu8hbHI/AAAAAAAAFYI/PAC2JfeFP4I/NY.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first draft of the racing course is ready. We are spending many of our weekends in forest, on trails and in kayaks looking for the best locations for CPs and transition areas. This year everything is going to be new: new Calleva challenge, new single track biking trail, and new paddling area. We will update the gear list and open registration early March. Earlier registration fees are going to be the same $75 per racer. One big change we consider this year is to limit the Expert category to teams of 2 and 4 racers only with coed-4 as prime division... And no river swim this year, get ready to some other surprises.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8351327127231577838-2779292401052717177?l=callevarace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/feeds/2779292401052717177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2011/01/2011-news.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/2779292401052717177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/2779292401052717177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2011/01/2011-news.html' title='2011 news.'/><author><name>Dima</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13170231049092708465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S4bhGRwQfxI/AAAAAAAAEfs/234y8IAHM1I/S220/dima_profile_pic_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/TSfDXu8hbHI/AAAAAAAAFYI/PAC2JfeFP4I/s72-c/NY.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351327127231577838.post-1793104882941555688</id><published>2010-08-26T10:11:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2010-08-27T10:04:46.826-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Calleva Race 2010'/><title type='text'>Vladimir Bukalo Photography presents...</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/THZ1YdSWcmI/AAAAAAAAFFg/-JO-S2iAXRI/race1.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobukalo.zenfolio.com/p642045233" target="_blank"&gt;785 photos&lt;/a&gt; from the Third Annual Calleva Adventure Race.

All these recommendation, except of the river swim are good for the SPORT category racers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brain, team SOG:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pants are not needed. The only times we ran into significant nettles were when we were in the wrong place.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;On land navigation isn’t too tricky. I made a few route choices but don’t think they affected our time much. I mostly tried to avoid going up and down hills and was able to do so successfully many times. You can choose your routes to suit your preferences and maybe the ease of navigating.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;On water, navigation was tricky. Should definitely be interesting with lots of people paddling up and down the river.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Water stops are dispersed well throughout the course. 3L water carrying capacity recommended (3L bladder or 2L bladder plus bottles).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make sure to fill up AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE before leaving the last water stop. If you clear the end of the course you will need all the water you can carry to make it back if you are staying hydrated.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be sure to fuel up (eat extra food) before you go on river swim unless you plan on stopping during the swim to eat something.  It will take more than an hour which is a long time to go without eating if you haven’t just eaten.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Knee pads are recommended but not necessary on the river swim. Also recommended to have flippers with covered toes or where some sort of shoes in flippers in your fins.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bring a large backpack. PFD’s and bike helmets are hard to squeeze into a small backpack. You can bring multiple sizes to the race to test out when you get there but plan on using a 25+L. 30L recommended.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;River Swim navigation is a little tricky.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Be sure to allocate enough time to finish the course. The end of the course does not allow for much shortcutting (optional points) so you may have to skip some optional points earlier than expected to make sure and finish on time. (SPORT category have more optional points at the end of the race)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I enjoyed land navigation. Nothing too tricky just challenging enough. There was more terrain than in past years to help navigate instead of having to rely on bearings and land markings as in past years.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;Monika, team Trakkers:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bring a backpack big enough to fit your helmet and PFD&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Our pre-race day was really hot and I drank three full bladders for the entire race and I ran out of water the last hour&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I hit my knees several times on the rocks swimming in the river, maybe you want to take some knee protectors with you&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It's a fun course, enjoy it. Definitely some navigation in it!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/TEmlFPCJgCI/AAAAAAAAE50/x8yKK9Wvop4/s912/p7.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;More photos from the pre-run are on the &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/event.php?eid=100630556658455" target="_blank"&gt;Calleva Race Facebook page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The next race bulletin will be out 1 week before the race&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8351327127231577838-397542584564189202?l=callevarace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/feeds/397542584564189202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2010/07/vetting-team-recommendations.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/397542584564189202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/397542584564189202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2010/07/vetting-team-recommendations.html' title='Vetting team recommendations.'/><author><name>Dima</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13170231049092708465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S4bhGRwQfxI/AAAAAAAAEfs/234y8IAHM1I/S220/dima_profile_pic_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh3.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/TEmlEx0aqFI/AAAAAAAAE5w/roN7P3dCNe0/s72-c/p6.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351327127231577838.post-5355763394442812201</id><published>2010-05-04T17:02:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-04T17:06:13.073-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Calleva Race 2010'/><title type='text'>New Race Discipline for 2010!

In addition to running, biking and paddling these brave racers will swim in white (and flat) water on a riverboard, also known as a &lt;a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Boogie-Board" target="_blank"&gt;boogie board&lt;/a&gt;. According to the father of the riverboarding sport, Robert Carlson, the newest extreme sport is actually one of the oldest. He has been quoted as saying, "Anyone who jumps into the water and grabs onto a log is doing riverboarding. It goes back to Paleolithic times." Read more about &lt;a href="http://www.riverboarding-sledge-hydrospeed-nageeneauvive.com/" target="_blank"&gt;history of riverboarding&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many adventure races have a river swim as a discipline. Here is a video from the 2008 Untamed Virginia river swim demo:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fmqmb2GdYXM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Fmqmb2GdYXM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Calleva's river swim will not have such white water, but you better learn to avoid underwater obstacles. Don't forget fins, they will help you to maneuver and move faster in flat water sections. You would be very wise to get a good waterproof case for your map; you will navigate while in the water. We recommend you to have a foam boogie board with a leash. You can buy one in most sporting goods stores like Sport Authority. Try to avoid the heavy plastic boards (aka ripboards), because you might run/hike with your boards for part of the course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't forget to register before the end of the month. Registration fees will increase June 1st!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8351327127231577838-5355763394442812201?l=callevarace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/feeds/5355763394442812201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-race-discipline-for-2010-river-swim.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/5355763394442812201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/5355763394442812201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-race-discipline-for-2010-river-swim.html' title='New Race Discipline for 2010!

Photos &lt;a href="http://photobukalo.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Vladimir Bukalo&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S5qvbzjLzZI/AAAAAAAAEkM/HKHTUI86x0Q/CAR-4478.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S5qvbzjLzZI/AAAAAAAAEkM/HKHTUI86x0Q/CAR-4478.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Calleva race 2009 was a race to remember. I registered in the expert 3 person coed division but lost a member before race day so actually competed in the 2 person&amp;nbsp;male divison. After registering and recieving our maps, all expert racers were bused to the start location; a dirt road dividing fields of soy. As the race started,&amp;nbsp;we ran to our passports, and began orienteering our way to our first checkpoints. Unfortunatly, my teammate got quite sick during this portion and dropped out, leaving&amp;nbsp;me to complete the race unoffically on my own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S5qvbk3tisI/AAAAAAAAEkE/WH8Z8MvuvFQ/CAR-3767.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S5qvbk3tisI/AAAAAAAAEkE/WH8Z8MvuvFQ/CAR-3767.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;After acquiring the fairly straightforward first checkpoints, I reached a manned checkpoint where I recieved a kayak for  the second portion of the race. This was a very easy section for me, and I passed a number of teams during the five mile paddle to Adventure Island. The scenary was beautiful and wildlife was abundant.However, the day of the race also happened to be one of the hottest days of the year and you could really feel it on the water. I found myself wishing for the end so I could get back into the shade. Adventure Island was a highlight of the race for a number of teams as there was a short section where one could rapid  swim and a number of cool high elements for time deductions. I chose to do a high climb, a balance beam in a tree, and a tree climb. There was also an option for a giant swing and a helping hands element for those teams consisting of more then one member. Upon completion of these elements, I made my way back to my boat and paddled across the  Potomac to Riley's lock. At this point, the true orienteering began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S5qvbg_2yzI/AAAAAAAAEkI/JtQ1DM1sSl0/CAR-4191.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S5qvbg_2yzI/AAAAAAAAEkI/JtQ1DM1sSl0/CAR-4191.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I deposited my boat and set off into the woods to locate a number of cleverely hidden checkpoints. I witnessed a number of frustrated teams arguing over which direction the checkpoints could be in and I lost twenty minutes on a particularly difficult one myself. It was really during this section that I felt the lack of a team most keenly as an added pair of eyes and someone else to discuss directions with would have been quite welcome. When I did finally complete this section of the race, however, I headed back to Riley's lock to pick up my bike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My team had&amp;nbsp;agonized over bike selection but my final choice of a high front-travel, hardtail turned out to be a good choice as the begining of the bike section was about ten miles of road&amp;nbsp;riding. This was very straightforward with no checkpoints. I ended at Shaeffer's farms; one of my favorite biking locations. This part was awesome in that you could really fly&amp;nbsp;around the singletrack. There were a number of optional checkpoints hidden on the maps at various intersections throught the park and I crossed paths with a number of other Calleva&amp;nbsp;teams. When I had had my fill of mountain biking, I left Shaeffer's and bike to the next manned checkpoint where I dropped off my bike and began a long trek back to Rileys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As running is my weakest point, I was forced to skip a few of the checkpoints during the ten mile hike back. Unfortunatly, even omitting some checkpoints I still arrived back to&amp;nbsp;Riley's an hour after the race had officaly ended; utterly exhausted but triumphant. The race was epic. I had a ton of fun, was challenged both mentally and physically, and would recommend&amp;nbsp;next year's race to anyone looking for a fun way to spend a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Official race results are &lt;a href="http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2009/08/final-results.html#news"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Photos: &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sarahZ91/2009CallevaAdventureRace#" target="_blank"&gt;link 1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/KPEOCTAT/CallevaRace2009#" target="_blank"&gt;link 2&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;All posts about Calleva Race 2009 are &lt;a href="http://callevarace.blogspot.com/search/label/Calleva%20Race%202009#news"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Other reports about Calleva Race 2009 we found on the web are at &lt;a href="http://thoughtiknewthen.blogspot.com/2009/08/2009-calleva-10-hour-adventure-race.html" target="_blank"&gt;thoughtiknewthen&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://bobalog.blogspot.com/2009/08/calleva-race-2009.html" target="_blank"&gt;bobalog&lt;/a&gt;.

Only 3 teams finished the full course within final cutoff at 19:00. These 3 teams were ranked ahead of all other teams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite terrible weather all teams in both SPORT and EXPERT managed to finish the race, a great accomplishment in itself. Only one team lost one of their teammates, but continued the race unofficially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First place in Prime division and free entree to 2010 Calleva Adventure Race is awarded to team A-List/Too Many Kids (EXPERT course) and team U.H.B.  (SPORT category). Team U.H.B. is overall winner and is the only team that took all possible bonuses in the SPORT category. In the EXPERT category the overall winner is soloist ATP (Scott Pleban), clearing the course and finishing the race 19 minutes before the cutoff time. We also want to mention team Panic Azimuth got all possible points in EXPERT category course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We want to thank all racers for taking on this incredible challenge.  We have already started working on 2010 Calleva Adventure Race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Keep up the good training and get ready for next year.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8351327127231577838-5344808946105211678?l=callevarace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/feeds/5344808946105211678/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2009/08/final-results.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/5344808946105211678'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/5344808946105211678'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2009/08/final-results.html' title='The Final Results'/><author><name>Dima</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13170231049092708465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S4bhGRwQfxI/AAAAAAAAEfs/234y8IAHM1I/S220/dima_profile_pic_small.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351327127231577838.post-1490482919449500313</id><published>2009-08-11T11:42:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T10:29:57.453-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Calleva Race 2009'/><title type='text'>Lost and found + more photos.</title><content type='html'>Here is what we found cleaning up after the race:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Visor - Columbia Triathlon  - white&lt;br /&gt;Shorts  - Prana - size L - tan w/ black belt&lt;br /&gt;Shirt - Eastern Mtn Sports - L - dk red w/ circle emblem silk screen&lt;br /&gt;Shirt - Allstyle Apparel and ActiveWear - M - embroidered woody car w/surfboard LaJolla California&lt;br /&gt;Helmet - Bell - Ukon F5 - black&lt;br /&gt;Helmet - Bell - black&lt;br /&gt;Shorts - biking - Penzl izumi&lt;br /&gt;Shirts - M - West Nottingham Academy&lt;br /&gt;Shirt - UnderArmor - Red L  - St. John's Football camp&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think it's yours, send us email or just come to pick it up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are &lt;a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/sarahZ91/2009CallevaAdventureRace?feat=email#" target="_blank"&gt;more photos&lt;/a&gt;.

You can test out a variety of boats and paddles often used in real adventure races: including canoes, single kayaks, or tandem kayaks. Training conditions like white water, river, and open water, are all right there. And while paddling you can enjoy the views of many Washington, DC memorials.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8351327127231577838-7230327614242510486?l=callevarace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/feeds/7230327614242510486/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2009/05/best-place-for-paddling-training.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/7230327614242510486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/7230327614242510486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2009/05/best-place-for-paddling-training.html' title='The Best Place for Paddling Training.'/><author><name>Dima</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13170231049092708465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S4bhGRwQfxI/AAAAAAAAEfs/234y8IAHM1I/S220/dima_profile_pic_small.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/SfXgtsrqo1I/AAAAAAAACRY/FnzLVnGX4LQ/s72-c/jaksboathouse.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351327127231577838.post-427608933857551891</id><published>2009-04-06T11:17:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T10:29:57.455-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Calleva Race 2009'/><title type='text'>Photos from the field.</title><content type='html'>We spent another weekend checking the race area and setting CPs positions for the race.

With last years race selling out very quickly, we decided to include two categories and two courses this year. The categories are Expert and Sport. The courses for both categories are similar in length, but different in technical level. Here is a short description of each category:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Expert&lt;/b&gt; course might include following disciplines: white water boogie board swimming (nothing dangerous, just fast moving water around big rocks), single track mountain biking, cross country running, flat water canoe paddling (kayaks for solo racers), hiking, bushwhacking, and all this with more difficult navigation and sharp cutoff times. You will be able to skip some CPs, but due to the linear nature of the course and absence of the central transition area that will not make your life much easier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sport category&lt;/b&gt; course will provide more options for strategic decisions and racers will be able to re-supply their food and water on the central transition area. The disciplines might include road biking with some shortcut options through single track, flat water canoe paddling (kayaks for solo racers), hiking, cross country running, and the famous Calleva challenges. Navigation will be more obvious, but still will require good knowledge of map and compass use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now it's your decision what category to choose. If you ran the first Calleva race and felt OK, challenge yourself with the Expert category. If you not sure what are "cutoff times" or "CPs", stay with Sport. Most importantly have a blast!!  If you just want to take a look on what's going on, come to help us as a volunteer. Race registration will be open next week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8351327127231577838-4912467324319551730?l=callevarace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/feeds/4912467324319551730/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2009/03/race-categories-expert-and-sport.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/4912467324319551730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/4912467324319551730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2009/03/race-categories-expert-and-sport.html' title='Race categories: Expert and Sport.'/><author><name>Dima</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13170231049092708465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UMkWSm7OXpw/S4bhGRwQfxI/AAAAAAAAEfs/234y8IAHM1I/S220/dima_profile_pic_small.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351327127231577838.post-4373153096733331126</id><published>2009-02-05T16:57:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T10:29:57.455-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Calleva Race 2009'/><title type='text'>The race date...

First and foremost, the training plan!  I am firm believer that its not the particular training plan you choose, but choosing to stick with it, that counts the most.  I personally sit down months before a race and plot out my plan on my calendar.  I write each week down on a post it, and plan accordingly.  Not a lot of time to train?  Try squeezing it in when you can.  While my daughter is in gymnastics on Wednesdays, I fit in a 45 minute ride.  My training plan calls for an hour on Wednesdays, but I only have 45.  Don't have access to a kayak?  Try swimming.  While not the same, at least you are working your upper body and getting a great aerobic workout.  Again, don't fret the little details, the important part is getting out on a regular basis.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8351327127231577838-4506786333241412050?l=callevarace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/feeds/4506786333241412050/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2009/01/training-tips-from-last-year-racer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/4506786333241412050'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8351327127231577838/posts/default/4506786333241412050'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://callevarace.blogspot.com/2009/01/training-tips-from-last-year-racer.html' title='Training tips from last year racer'/><author><name>Calleva Racer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17452265538295049673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8351327127231577838.post-4384165667768792910</id><published>2009-01-07T12:08:00.006-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-27T10:29:57.455-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Calleva Race 2009'/><title type='text'>Calleva Race website is ON.</title><content type='html'>Dear racers, welcome to the official website of the Calleva Adventure Race.
