On Father’s Day weekend I covered 912 miles in 67 hours on only 10 hours of sleep. If I said I was tired, that would be an understatement! I started off on Friday by heading to Brooklyn, MI, which is the home of the Michigan International Speedway. There I would be covering the Quicken Loans 400 Practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. After spending the day there I headed to Lansing where I was going to compete in Dirty Feat, an adventure race held in the capital, on Saturday. The race covered some 50 miles on bike, foot, and canoe. After eight hours of non-stop exercise I was on my way home for a few hours before heading back to MIS. In order to beat all the traffic I set my alarm for 4:30am and was off to the track. Once there I covered some pre-race events and waited for the race to start since there was a rain delay. Once the race was over and I had finished sending pictures to my editors, I was on my way home for some much needed rest. Here are some pictures from my adventures. You can see all the images here and here.
