When most people set New Years resolutions they set goals like “eat healthier”, “lose 5lbs” or “exercise more often”.  While quite vague, these goals also lack a certain element of excitement to me.
My resolutions take a different shape, in the form of various adventures and races I’d like to accomplish before the year’s end. l’ve compiled a list of some of my all time favorite events some of which I have completed and others that are still on my list.

Please post links to any events or adventures in the comments section below. Happy training!
