With a new series of hydration packs out this spring and a relatively new location in Sacramento, we thought it’d make sense combine those things and get involved with a local community race or two (local being the Bay Area up to Tahoe, the beauty of being in

Big Blue’s even posted some training tips for people looking get into multi-sport racing, so there - no excuses not to get out there.
