Summary:

- Mountain Goat Adventure Races Overview: Lisa Randall and her husband Chris organize mountain bike races at Blankets Creek in Georgia. The events include 3-hour and 6-hour races where participants complete as many laps as possible on single-track trails. The recent race had about 300 participants, with approximately 50 serious racers and the rest participating for fun.
- Benefits of Training for Events: Having future events scheduled creates consistency in training and builds mental discipline. Rather than just exercising randomly, training for a specific event gives purpose to workouts and increases motivation to stay consistent with fitness routines.
- Community Building Through Racing: Participating in events like Mountain Goat Adventures connects you with like-minded people and deepens relationships through shared adversity. Andy met new people and reconnected with gym members during the race, creating valuable social connections that contribute to overall wellbeing.
- Self-Assessment Through Competition: Racing provides valuable feedback about physical capabilities and limitations. Andy discovered his shoulder needed more stability work and gained insight about his relative strengths (downhill riding) and weaknesses (uphill climbing) compared to other riders.
- Supporting Local Events: The podcast emphasizes the importance of supporting local event organizers like Lisa Randall through participation and volunteering. Lisa has a strong background in adventure racing and creates well-organized events that benefit the community.
- Healthy Aging Through Continued Challenges: Participating in events as you age helps combat the natural physical decline that often comes with getting older. At nearly 52, Andy attributes his health and fitness to consistent CrossFit training that enables him to participate in these demanding outdoor events.
- Future Mountain Goat Adventure Events: Lisa Randall has multiple events planned for 2026, including races at Blankets Creek, Rope Mill, and other locations, offering opportunities for both mountain biking and trail running at various distances to accommodate different fitness levels.

We are happy, humble, helpful people that want to be healthy and fit now, as well as in their 90's. I talk about how to live that good life now and later with heavy slant towards fitness and nutrition.
