The USARA Championship Race took place in Boone, NC this past weekend celebrating adventure racing in the United States. So many familiar faces and great teams found their way to this race. To top it off, the Facebook coverage was phenomenal, keeping family and friends in touch with all the teams and their progress. There are so many great pictures, videos, and interviews. The results are up on the website. They really brought the race to life. Congratulations to all the teams for finishing what was a tough course in very hot and humid conditions. But most of all CONGRATULATIONS to 361 Adventures Chickpoints for their first place finish in the All Female Division. You ladies rock!
This was my first time missing the race in about 7 years. It was definitely fun and hard watching it from the other side. I loved seeing the action on Facebook but also felt the tug of desire to be out their racing alongside everyone. There is always next year.
This blog has been pretty quiet this summer due to all the races I have directed and participated in. The next few blog posts will be focused on those races. I will just be rehashing them for my own pleasure, but you are welcome to come along on the memory journey. I will end with my amazing adventure in Canada at the Raid International Gaspesie. Unfortunately, this year was the last year for this race.
The next big race everyone should be focusing on now is THE FIG!!! Registration is open, and you know this race is always beautiful, tough, and loads of fun. Stay tuned as we round out the last few months on this blog post, but get registered for the Fig ASAP!
