PQ 6/22 Skills Testing and Pre Race Meeting

We spent last night packing ten days of food to carry in our packs. That is a lot of zip lock baggies full of goodness and lots of calories. There isn’t any other time in my daily life that I can walk up and down the isles of the grocery store and compare nutrition labels on items to purposely find the items with the most amount of calories and fat per serving. All of the things you don’t usually let yourself indulge in…those are the types of things that fill our packs along with sandwiches and the occasional slice of cold pizza.

We got an early jump on the skills testing that had to be done. We started with the ropes skills.

After many hours spent in the van, on airplanes, and a few long layovers in airports we are finally here in Big Sky Montana for PQ 2008! Not many photos to share yet…all of the “fun stuff starts” tomorrow. The terrain and the views here are unbelievable! It will definitely be an incredible course. Jim has done a lot of map research and has pointed out many ridgelines we will be traveling on, some rivers with some serious white water, and some rock ledges that we will surely spend some time hanging from. The boys are a bit nervous for the white water kayaking and swimming due to the water we saw today. I however…am jazzed beyond imagination! BRING IT!!

Although the boys are on their way back into Bozeman to pick up Jane at the airport we were able to check in a bunch of gear and go through a few stations already today with out her being here. This will surely make tomorrows check in process even quicker.

So stayed tuned for more updates and photos to follow…
