What a gorgeous day for the off-road duathlon (in Williamsburg) and orienteering meet (in Richmond)! Let's cross our trekking poles and hope for a nice batch of weather for the Virginia Beach AdventureFest next weekend. Right now Saturday looks fine (high of 70, low of 60) and Sunday isn't too shabby either.
Speaking of which, we've go a lot of things going on in VBAdventureFest land:
- -Pike (short for Pam & Mike) have posted a map of the Bear of the Beach Trail Run. Still time to get into this 5 mile run on Nov 12, by the way; you can register online here. This is Ft. Story's first trail run ever so the area should be new to most everyone (unless we run the adventure race over it . . . I'll leave it at that):
- -Virginia Beach AdventureFest has released the official guide; download it, print it, and spend lots of time reading it instead of doing "real" work. The tents start going up at the oceanfront around noon and things open in earnest at 4 PM on Friday.
- -We've posted the final racer communication for the the Sea & Sand Adventure Race. This is going to be a really fun race to end the 2006 Series with.
- -You may have heard that we ran into some permitting challenges along the way with the adventure race on Saturday . . . the good news is that the course is better than ever and you still get to rappel off the hotel roof if you want to. Better still, I finally found an excuse to produce the shirt I've always dreamed of:
- -We're considering it a limited edition VBAdventureFest special; you can get yours for $25 while supplies last at the VBAF starting Friday evening. Listening to Rage Against The Machine while you wear the shirt is suggested, but not required.
Remember, if you're late to the party, it's not too late to . . .
