My friend, Chris Hardbeck, is trying to kick some cancer butt.

Over the last several years, Chris has become a huge fan of cross training and the multisport lifestyle. Multisport training coined the phrase 'brick' to describe how your legs feel when you try to transition from a big bike workout to a big run workout.  Basically, you bike and run, back to back.  The sensation of running even a few miles after spending a couple of hours on the bike is different than heading out for the morning 10k.

On July 9, 2010, Chris is going to attempt to complete a series of bricks (4 hours cycling, followed by 2 hours running), repeatedly, until he reaches his destination.  He will leave from Lake Lanier, just north of Atlanta, and trek to the Tybee Island Pier in Savannah.  The journey is close to 300 miles and should take about 24 hours to cover, nonstop and through the night.  The point of this is not to show what he can do, but to show what can be done when we keep a higher purpose in mind.
