The last two weeks have flown by without me getting a chance to even think about writing a blog post. Fortunately, everything slowed down just enough for me to take a breather and knock one out. I just completed the Quarry Mt Quest 6 Hour Adventure Race in Steamboat Springs, while Dallas and Shawn hammered out the Dale HollAR. Both races delighted and challenged the participants, as the photos reveal. Photos for these races are on Facebook under the 361 Adventures page and the Athena Adventures page.
Now I am heading full speed into preparing for the NOMAD 48 Hour AR. This race is going to be full of all the adventure and beauty that the Rocky Mountains can provide, but it will be challenging for all involved. The NOMAD is July 26 to 28. Registration will remain open until July 19. I have been out on the course at least 4 times. Each place I visit, I am thrilled at the scenery and exhausted by the climb. The race will be worth the experience.
Shawn and Dallas are preparing for the Dead Fred on August 3. It is the second race in the Unbridled Series, allowing racers to step their race experience up a notch. It has been years since I visited Yatesville Lake State Park in eastern Kentucky. The lake snakes through the mountains with many hidden coves and inlets. It will be lovely, as all the Kentucky races are, and a great paddle.
There are plenty of adventure races to participate in for the rest of the summer in both Kentucky and Colorado. We look forward to seeing you out there.
