Rajd Beskidy long course
Road to Rajd Beskidy / Episode Two - Winter Racing
04.02.2024
THE ROAD TO RAJD BESKIDY – EPISODE TWO. Winter, bike, run, water and more vital experience ahead of the most important competition of the season with 142 days to go.
On 13 January we took part in the Soła Valley Winter Race, organised by the Rajd Beskidy team.
The four of us covered the whole route together, but the official results are in pairs: Marzka with Marek - 1st place MIX, Stasiu with Artur - 2nd place MM.
The race was played in the rogaining formula, i.e. who collects more points over 12 hours. At first glance, it may seem that such winter racing has little to do with our main goal - the multi-day Rajd Beskidy planned for June, but there is a consensus in the team that taking part in competitions is one of the best training measures.
So, without wasting the opportunity, we went for 12 hours of fun in the forest. We practised working together with a map [because two navigators are, in our opinion, a necessity during long races], we tested ourselves in crossing ditches, streams, small rivers.
We looked at the different types of maps that Jurek always serves up to his competitions and, at the end, we faced a bike breakdown. It wasn't boring! #arworldseries #adventure #adventureracing #worldstoughestteamsport
