The South Kaibab Trail is well known for its steep
pitches, which means a considerable amount of
climbing on tired legs. With each step up the
wooden ties, my body groaned. It was pitch black
out and 40mph winds were tossing me around
with each gust. It took 4.5 hours to finally summit
the South Rim, and all of us did so in a state of
complete delirium and exhaustion. We had left it
all out there!
This experience exceeded every expectation and
idea of what I thought the R3 Challenge would be.
The physicality needed was beyond any Ironman
I have done, and when your body wants to give
up, that’s when you see how strong your mind is. I
left the Grand Canyon with a greater
appreciation for the body that I have and the
places that it takes me.
