I had a pleasant surprise the other day. While flipping channels, I landed on the USA Network’s showing of Eco-Challenge New Zealand.

Every year, I watch it while having a couple of beers and sitting on the couch. Every year I declare “I could do that” any number of times. Could I actually rappel a 300 ft cliff at night while half asleep? Could I hike 14 miles with horribly blistered feet? Could I plan well enough in advance to actually train for this thing? I think we all know which side of the screen I’ll be on when Eco-Challenge 2002 Fiji is broadcast next April.
