A big part of his training regiment is completing multiple Rim-to-Rim-to-Rims, the first of which he took on this past week. But the thing is, it's currently winter, and completing an R3 is VERY difficult in such conditions, because of snow and ice and the closure of the North Rim for the season. In spite of all his Canyon experience, Arnie faced some unexpected challenges, and hearing about how he dealt with them is something that will help all of us on our Canyon adventures.\n*****\nTo reach Coach Arnie, he insists you can call or text him at (602) 390-9144, or find him (@ArnieFonsecaJr) on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn.\n*****\nThe all-new Grand Canyon Shade Tracker is LIVE!!
