It is so important to constantly challenge ourselves physically. We are people wanting to influence each other and others we meet along the way.
This is where we can get workouts for the day, track your times, pr's, ask and reply to questions and comments.

This is also where we will share what events we are participating in and opening them up to the rest of the team to take part in.

AOWR in AFRICA...

COMPLETE!
African Water Basket Carry

Picture this...
A 2 hour ride from Nairobi to Kajeido, in a matatu. A van that crams 9 people in it. Highly unsafe but the everyday way of traveling in Kenya.
We have packs and a 6-liter pack of water (weighing 15-20 lbs) per person (Kate has a larger pack, of course... She is carrying us here in Africa).
So...
Off the Mutatu in Kajeido, our house father is not going to be able to pick us up... A motorcycle ride or walk... We walk.
The Journey: 90min hill climb from town to home-stay.
With Jacob leading the pack, walking on a dirt road with ups and downs, and some definite sun.
JB asked a few times to switch packs with Kate, but she wasn't giving it up.... He was getting a bit irritated that another had more weight than him, yes..... He has been in many conversations on this trip about looking like superman and Kate wasn't letting him have anything super on this journey!
We pass a few schools, we are definitely the topic of conversation with us walking with all our stuff..... As we round the corner to our home, we have about 800m left. We enter through a gate of our home, hit the front patio area and sit... It was long! Felt like a pack mule. Our Maasai Grandma was definitely wondering what we were doing...she is about as traditional of a Maasai as you can get. Just one of the MANY adventures we have had together!!! Lots to share upon arrival!
