Yes, I am alive and well. The jungle run was fantastic. We started in the jungles outside of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Saturday June 3rd at 7:30 AM and finished in the dark of night at 8:00 PM. One of my team mates had to drop out due to extreme dehydration, heart arrhythmias, and slurring of words (mostly obscenities) at a check point around 5 hours. We spent the last 7 hours picking off other teams trying to make up for lost time. It was the type of run you would hope for - Leeches, blood, mud, rivers, tumbles and spills, more blood, plenty of rain, and extreme exhaustion. I’m hooked. More to follow later…
