Rim to Rim to Rim- A Bucket List Adventure

You might have heard of Rim to Rim, a hike that traverses the Grand Canyon, which is a bucket list hike for sure.  But did you know that you can add another Rim on there, and head back to the start? Three IRLAG teammates- Nicole Rambsey, Lindsay Long, and Cheryl Kreinbring- planned and trained for months to attempt this epic R2R2R in one single day. The Rim to Rim to Rim is a 40-48 mile hike that has about 11,000 feet of elevation gain and 11,000 feet elevation loss. It is a self-supported adventure that many people do as a multi-day hike.  But Cheryl, Lindsay, and Nicole decided to attempt this epic hike in one single day.  In this episode we cover it all, from whose idea it was, to preparation, to equipment and nutrition, to the actual 24+ hours of hiking while completing the R2R2R challenge.  Have a listen!  250 Mile Challenge: https://runsignup.com/Race/MA/Brewster/250miles?mc_cid=f4739987c5&mc_eid=1758eac39c
