The thisABILITY Adventures Podcast
Join ThisABILITY Adventure Racing's podcast for tactical advice on adventure racing from a mid-pack team's perspective. Adventure racing is an endurance sport that combines biking, trekking, and paddling while navigating with map and compass. Our podcast primarily features Race Rambles, where we recount our team's experiences during specific races. We'll also share insights from our own races, ranging from short sprints to expedition-length events. Occasional interviews with guests, including the sport's most well-known figures and those new to adventure racing, will provide additional perspectives. As advocates for people with developmental disabilities, we believe in focusing on abilities, not limitations, a philosophy that applies to everyone. So join us to focus on your abilities, push your limits, and learn together.

In this episode, Team thisABILITY takes on the 2025 Mint Springs 8-Hour Adventure Race in Crozet, Virginia. Chip delivers a stellar performance, finishing first overall in 4 hours and 37 minutes, while Andrea marks a major milestone — her first adventure race since recovering from injury.
Huge thanks to John and the Crozet Racing crew for hosting such a well-designed and scenic course — and for keeping racers fueled with post-race hotdogs and snacks 🌭
