PEAK Death Race™ 2010
By: Jack Cary Colchester, Vermont, United States

As soon as I read about the PEAK Death Race, "a challenging race that may kill you", I knew I had to sign-up! I just want to see how far I can make it.
I created this blog as a place to gather information about the event, log my training, share details of other events, and to keep me motivated for the next year.
I attended the 2009 Death Race as a spectator on June 27th. Here are some photos from the event and a race report.
My buddy Patrick from PA will also be entering the Death Race with me in 2010. I have already recruited Kristin and my good friend Aaron as support crew.
It is going to take a hell of a lot of work to get in shape for this 24 hour dance with death.

PITTSFIELD, Vt. - Joe Desena finally met his match last month when a British Royal Marine came stumbling off the Appalachian Trail and challenged him to a death race. This was not the usual way of things. Desena was accustomed to being the one challenging other people to death races. Desena, 40, had been raised in Howard Beach, Queens, where he drew significant ridicule for his mother's yogic meditation. He had parlayed a pool-cleaning business into a job on Wall Street, a job on Wall Street into a small fortune and a small fortune into a 400-acre spread in the Green Mountains. He tended to liken all of life's trials and splendors to operating a business. Read more
