Race Weekend - Riverrock
This week is the 3rd Annual Dominion Riverrock Festival here in Richmond. (http://www.dominionriverrock.com/) The festival features several events including a 5K mud run, a 10K trail run, a 20 mile mountain bike race, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, extreme kayak jumping, air dog competition, free style bike jumping, bouldering, food, and live music. There is something for everyone and the whole event is adrenalin filled and super fun.
I will be racing in the mountain bike race at 2:30PM and then at 6PM, I will be running the Scramble which is a 10K trail race. I doubt there will be too many people doing both races but I am looking forward to the challenge. It will be good training for the upcoming Xterra on June 12 which uses the same bike and run course although the Riverrock bike course goes in a different direction than the Xterra bike course.
I am all geared up and ready to race. It looks like it might be a pretty wet and muddy weekend but that will make it more challenging. I plan to give race reports so tune back in soon. And if you are going to be in Richmond this weekend, come on down to Brown's Island and check it out!
