Yikes! It is August already. Where did the summer go? Well, there are plenty of races from now until the end of the year. 2018 is not over yet!
There is a total of 15 races taking place in August throughout the United States and Canada. While the weekend of August 4th has passed, there were 6 races being held! Hopefully, you did not miss them. 361 Adventures held the #2 Unbridled Series Adventure Race, The Frog, and I heard everyone was jumping for joy over that one. No one had anything to croak about.
If you missed that race, there are plenty left for those of you who are searching for a nice August race. August is the perfect time of year to race in many parts of the country. Sure you will encounter hot, sticky, wet conditions, but they have the excitement of “end of summer” fun. You only have a few more weekends left, before the temperatures start dropping and snow fall begins. Get in as much summer outdoor time as you can. Also, August races are great training for the USARA Nationals race that will be in Indiana in September.
In the meantime, enjoy your August races. I will be volunteering at the Rev3 Curt Gowdy and Cowboy Tough races in Wyoming and directing the Bears Ears Adventure Race at Steamboat Lake in Colorado. Maybe some of you will make it to those races out west.
