Racing Season in the US of A

It’s racing time in the southeast!  With the fall colors also comes some of the best extreme races the southeast and maybe the country has to offer.  This past weekend saw 52 racers (a new record by more than double) hammer their way down the Russell Fork in eastern Kentucky.  The result new records, good swims, and a little moonshine to top it all off.  Here’s the top three:
