I am proposing here first my new endurance race to known as the Iditifence.
I will keep everyone informed as to race rules, facts and lore but in a nutshell-
this endurance race will start on the US-Mexican border near San Diego and rull all the
way to the Gulf of Mexico in Texas.

Rule 1- participants must run the course within 5 miles of the actual Mexican border but only
on the American side.
Rule 2- non motorized methods only and it must be in contact with Terra Firma-no hang gliders, no rubber rafts(upon the Rio Grande -silly).
Rule 3- only bicycles with the old fashioned single sprocket and coaster brakes are allowed.
No mountain bikes-these have been proven dangerous by our President.

Consider pitting the human competitive spirit against the perils of mother nature.The desert,
the hot sun, absence of water, and then the other treachery as well-Mexican Mafia, drug smugglers, coyotes, migrating workers in pursuit of full American assimilation, U.S. Border Patrol, fence construction crews, our own military, Banditos, wildlife.

At times you won't know if its immigrants or contestants that are running through the
Cholla, the mesquite, the greasewood and other cactus. Or maybe it is pursuing Border Patrolmen. Me-I'll be riding my mule-getting my ass up the pass and toward the finish line.
This should be fun if we all don't get arrested or detained for invading sovereign Mexican territory.
