Or WCPGW for short. This has become the mantra of the RippedTents group for each of these adventures.
Is it said tongue in cheek? Absolutely. Do things inevitably go wrong? Absolutely. But sometimes if you aren’t laughing you are crying, right? Never had this been more true for most of us than in 2020.
It's fair to say that 2020 was quite a YEAR, but it was due to the chaotic, uncertain nature of the year that this group was born. In most 'normal' years, when there are races, getting a group of friends together for epic runs and adventures can be tough, due to differing race schedules, varying peak weeks and alternating tapers. In 2020, the year with no races, this opened a door for us. Like any true running addicts, while all our races had been cancelled, we had all still been training and getting after our self-imposed weekly mileage goals. Towards the end of summer, we finally decided it was time to take that fitness out into the mountains for an adventure.
That adventure was called Baby Shark. It was hard. We laughed, we chaffed, we snacked, we laid in the road, and we made so many memories. We can wait to share some of these stories with you while also creating new memories together, after all WCPGW?
Can't wait to see you in the mountains! Happy Trails.
I read your “What Could Possibly Go Wrong” post and how you broke down each twist with humor and detail because it made the whole outdoor scenario feel really alive and real. When I was making a simple school booklet I once used book cover designing services in USA in a small task so I could see how a strong cover makes people want to read more about an adventure, and that taught me how great presentation draws interest.
I read the article about what could possibly go wrong and it made me laugh at how easy it is to forget simple steps when you rush into a big plan. Last year when I had so many deadlines I even used Data science capstone project help because the final part felt too hard and confusing at the time. That busy season taught me to slow down, plan ahead, and check my work carefully.
