I'd been on the fence for awhile now about blogging. I know social media has done great things for exposure and marketing, but at the same time - too often it's an outlet for venting, whining and pulling this "the world's against me" egocentric-ness.
So why am I writing this? Most who know me also know that I am actively involved in obstacle course racing, or OCR's, the most well-known being Spartan Race and Tough Mudder. My Facebook page always has an updated photo of me at some event, grinning goofily with a finisher medal or grimacing & caked in mud while attempting to finish an obstacle.

I'd like to share my experiences and tips, perhaps even inspire people to step out of their comfort zones and try something new.
As for the title, well I've got to thank my work's Facebook page - U.N.I Training - captioning a photo I'd posted with "Darcie's Adventure Race Chronicles". Although adventure racing typically involves navigating and a lot more than just 8+ miles on a ski hill, perhaps that will be an avenue to explore in the future.
