ROGAINE OCALA

Nope, not that kind of Rogaine.  More like the, “pay money to go run and get lost in the woods for 8 hours” Rogaine.  Confused, yeah so are we.  We haven’t done one before but we’re actually pretty excited about it.  We figure it will give us a chance to practice our navigation skills, which are dearly lacking.  Most importantly, it will give us a chance to reconnect with our adventure racing friends that we haven’t seen for a long time.

So, my friend, slick back that comb-over and come get lost with us in the woods.  More info can be found here: Florida Extreme Rogaine Ocala and tell them Team Disoriented referred you…we’ll gladly take the race credits 😉

TA 1 Podcast

I just ran across TA 1 Adventure Racing Podcast, everything you ever wanted to know about Adventure Racing…and then some.  Interviews with cool people in the adventure race world.  I’ve listened to a couple of podcasts by Randy and they’re really informative, entertaining, and put together well.

Tell them Team Disoriented sent you.  He won’t know who you’re talking about, but that’s half the fun 😉

The Cauldron 36-Hr Adventure Race

There’s a new race in town and it’s called the Cauldron, a 36-Hr race.  I don’t have much information on it other than it is being hosted by Off the Grid Racing and it’s in Hawthorne, FL  Click on the links below to check them out.  I am not affiliated with this race or the race director, I’m just happy to see new adventure races being added in the southeast.

Yep, that’s all I have for tonight.  Oh alright, one more image that I found cool…

I just ran across this website that puts all of the U.S. adventure races on a map, genius!   Now you can see which events are closest to you, and not just the big races either.

Primal Quest Returns

One of the biggest, baddest adventure races has returned–Primal Quest.  This 7-day, 400+ mile race was one of the premier races back in the days when Eco-Challenge set the world ablaze with adventure racing.

Needless to say, I’m super excited for this event and I can only hope that it kindles a resurgence in adventure racing.  I only wish I had $4k to register Ana and myself, oh and the physical ability to survive the race.  But, those are small details.

Another Quickie

I just created a public map where Adventure Racers can post their location and see if there are other racers in their area. Check it out and please add yourself. There is also a layer for adding race locations, if you’re feeling super productive.  Let me know if you encounter any issues accessing or editing the map.  The link to the map is on the top navigation menu or you can click the link below.

A Little Quickie

On By DavidIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

With the Arctic Blast bearing down on much of the country, it’s a little too cold for this Florida boy to go out and train.  So, what I like to do is go to my YouTube Channel and put on an Adventure Racing video while I work out on the treadmill or stationary bike.  Unfortunately, I don’t have a rowing machine yet to complete the tri-sport training set.

Anywho, some of the videos are not in english, which is okay since I usually mute the sound and put on some jams (yep, I grew up in the 90’s).  Try it, you’ll like it.  If you come across any other AR videos on the web, let me know as I’d love to link to them.

You can also go directly to the playlist from the Inspiration page tab in the navigation bar above ^^^
