I'm certain others experience this: all the effort and build-up to organizing a successful race . . . and then the fatigue that sets in afterwards. It's a challenge to tie up all the post-race loose ends (revised race splits, sponsor thank yous, race photos, gear lost and found, reclaiming our garage from the boxes of sponsor loot and supplies, etc.). This is where the statement, "Organizing adventure races is tougher than racing them" really comes into it's own. It's relatively easy to invest time when an event is approaching . . . but once it is passed, finding the activation energy to complete all the due diligence can be trying.
So, with this in mind, you can see why I've been a bit quiet on the blog front the last week or two. I've got lots going on with
VBAdventureFest, this little race known as the
Storm, some
racing clinics, and a bit of racing to do myself. I'm also in the market for a new bike . . . I feel like my current ride is becoming less and less reliable and I'd like to get something with 29 inch wheels and disc brakes . . .
So, I've got lots to talk about and I'll get back in the blogging saddle now that my post-race hang-over is letting up!
