This is my site on my experiences with adventure racing. You may see many of these articles published elsewhere as I write for a number of navigation, outdoor, and adventure magazines (normally in condensed and edited versions). This blog contains the full unedited versions of these stories.

Bubba Goat Round 2
What could be better for a Saturday afternoon than a surprise Bubba Run. Yes - it was a return t Lake Louisa State Park for Bubba Round 2. Junos Reed and I headed out there to compete and have a great time. The plan was for us to run as a team and do some serious training for the Sea to Sea.
The Bubba (this time) was a 3 loop race. Each time through the transition area we got a brand new map, and would do another loop. Each loop was about 2 1/2 miles. After we headed out on the first loop Junos and I realized we had different map and after about 10 minutes of confusion we were back on track and heading different directions. From my track - we first started looking at our mistake at 6 1/2 minutes in, and were finally on the correct track at about 15 minutes (ouch!).
Back on track - I ran quickly through the 3 loops with minimal error and ended up placing 2nd behind Dash (Dave Ashley) who ran a great race with no real mistakes. Here is my track
Here are some pictures of the first Bubba
