500 miles, 100,000 foot vertical climb, 10 days, non-stop pain.

Congratulations to my brother Roy Malone and his team “Team Bones” in their outstanding 3rd place finish in the 500 mile Eco Primal Quest 2008 Montana, perhaps one of the most grueling races on earth. If you haven’t seen or heard of an expedition length adventure race, it is a multi-discipline, co-ed, 4-person, non-stop, brutal 10 day race with navigating over, under, between and through every kind of terrain, water, sky you can imagine. These guys barely stop to rest and eat. Roy is the captain and a long-time racer. I’ll be curios to find out if this was more or less painful than the Utah Primal Quest of 2007, which I believe was one of his hardest.

At about 50 second in, you see Roy putting down some Top Ramen. And that might be his foot getting the ol’ tape job a few seconds before that.

Congratulations Team Bones. A job very well done.
