Silli Lilli is enjoying the country club while I’m doing this… Hoping to get some photos or videos from the team at the country club she is staying at while I do this adventure race. I promise I’ll put up some Silli Lilli stuff I have saved.

Some races just mean more than others! This weekend we will be in Columbia, SC for the Soda City Adventure Race/ Jason's Adventure Bash (JAB) brought yo you by Grit AdventureRacing. We will get a chance to celebrate the life of our friend Jason Schmidt who we lost tragically during an adventure race in Florida earlier this year.
Because this race is special, we will have some special coverage too. To start, we are collaborating with the boys from to bring you live updates from the 12hr race. If you've followed them at races you know they always bring a fun view from the course. I brought Dax and Duke with me this weekend and we will be bringing you the scenes from the 5hr race while we trek and float the course. So you have both races fully covered.
Now to the really special part.. we are going to try something completely new this race. Live on the ARDotWatch YouTube channel, we will have a camera and microphone set up at Bierkeller Brewing Company, which is where the start and finish for both races happen. I'll be doing live interviews pre race and we will leave the feed up all day to bring you the sites from the area and allow people to come and share any memories or stories of Jason. You at home can also share your stories in the YouTube comment section to. So dont miss out a chance to come send a message of love and support for the family. Our hope is to be able to show Liz and their kids how much Jason meant to so many! The most action on the live camera will be in the morning pre race and thru the start, then at the finish of the 5hr and 12hr races, so make sure to tune in!
