Webday Lists: Individual Events You Should Attempt

Wednesday's here at the Who's In First Blog we like to create lists on some popular topics, items or websites.

Since summer is just around the corner and you might be thinking of participating in some big individual events to test your will or to just get out and have fun. So what will you do to test your might this summer? Below is a list of some of the more popular activities people train and attempt during the summer months.

If you are interested in participating in any of these events you can also do a Google search on the event and location you are hoping to compete. Local newspapers and Craigslist.org are two additional resources we recommend.

Also keep in mind that while it is recommended that you participate in an organized event (since the impending date will keep your training focused), it is not necessary to participate in an organized event. For example, you can opt to run 13.1 miles on your own one weekend instead of participating in an organized half-marathon. Also remember that only a small majority of the people participating are doing so as a competition, so don't feel overwhelmed if you don't feel like you are the fastest or the best. Having fun is the most important aspect of these events.
