Athletes, are you ready? Save Feb 9th on your calendar for the 28th edition of the BVR. We should be ready to go live with registration by the end of the week. More to come.
Did anyone see Kacey's bracelet?
I know this is a long shot but did anyone pick up a bracelet made of beads of the 😍 emoji? I was wearing it during the race and I think it came off when I was putting my jacket on after.
