Raccoon River Valley Round FKT

Image
With the crisis that has been happening with the COVID-19 pandemic, racing hasn't been something that has been happening for the past few months. Rightfully so, people are just "hungry" to do something. Under a significant amount of pressure, I made the decision a few weeks ago to postpone the 2020 running of the Booneville Backroads Ultra series of races. I didn't want to put my runners or the community in harm even if some feel we could have put it on. Because of this, Memorial Day weekend freed up...which the race would have started on my birthday...and wanted to do something crazy that I'd been dreaming about for a few years. Run the entire Raccoon River Valley Trail in Central Iowa for an FKT. The FastestKnownTime.com site didn't have one set so why not give it a whirl.

I'm going to start off and say that it truly pains me to not write the subject line in capital letters, but if you've spent enough time in the running industry you know that if a brand prides themselves on doing things a certain way, you abide 😀 The product that I'm reviewing today is a piece in our gear closet that most guys won't admit that they want to like. With the colder months coming, we are in that weird transition phase from still wanting to hang on to the shorts that we've come to love this spring/summer, but don't want to start running earlier in the morning or later at night to be seen wearing tights... Today, I present to you the " manpri " from one of my favorite brands in the running space right now, rabbit ***Disclaimer #1: I received this pair of manpris as a gift to review with no anticipation of a positive review. All comments below are my true thoughts behind the use of the product*** ***Disclaimer #2: I am a huge f...
