I'm still inching along in my return to the "real" world; getting laundry done, bike fixed, all that stuff. Daydreaming of other races, too . . . Long races. I actually went for a run today and my feet didn't feel to bad; the weather has been gorgeous here so I couldn't help it!
Lots of stuff to share about PER (Patagonia Expedition Race) but I just don't have the attention span right now to crank that stuff out.
Instead, I came across this intriguing website: www.AdventureWorldMagazine.com. This could be another competitor in the post Adventure Sports Magazine era (I'm partial to Breathe Magazine, myself). I did a little internet nerdery and determined that the USARA owns this domain name (at least Troy Farrar, owner of USARA, does); I should've guessed based on the USARA link on their homepage. The magazine may never make it to print, but it looks like somebody invested some time in putting a home page together for a website. The Will Ramos photos always deserve more exposure!
Who knows, I'm totally over the whole USARA thing and am just happily planning our own independent races. With that said, a publication to highlight the sport, the racers, and their sponsors would be a good addition to the domestic US adventure racing landscape. It doesn't matter where that publication originates from, but it'd be nice if they didn't have an agenda of advancing one organization over another. Of course, if it were easy the start-up magazine Navigation Games would still be operating . . . or any of the other AR publications that are now distant memories. We'll just have to stay tuned.
