Nolans 14

I realized Scott and I wouldn’t be headed to Nepal in May. The great Himalaya would need to wait until this pandemic cleared out. It was obvious to set my sights on an objective here, in my own backyard. I heard about Nolans years ago, and thought it would be a pipe dream to attempt it. With a strong winter and spring of training, it became apparent that I was to go for it, and nothing felt impossible. The constant drives up to the Sawatch began, and a dream became realized.

Headed straight into the beast. Social Impact in Asia during Covid-19

Reflecting back on this trip, I can’t help but think about timing. I think about the heat, the humidity, the commitment to our students and myself, and the success of this trip. What a time to be leaving, but what an opportunity to get away from the noise of it all and experience what was happening in Asia…

GR20 - A dream realized (almost)

The plan was 120 miles, and 40,000ft of climbing in nine days. Day 1 started off as any, until I become incredible lost, scared, and defeated. I had an option to throw it all in, or avoid the bed begs in the north and complete the GR20 Sud, southern section.

For Whom The Bells Toll in Corsica

GR20 has been an elusive goal of mine for quite some time. I finally have the time and support to get out and attempt a 5 day push through the grueling trail. The stoke couldn’t be higher.

LT100 - Again!

I just met Bryan a week before the race. He was confident, stoic, but I could see that this was going to be something more than a race. Leadman was no joke.

Habana, Cubano

“Can you take this credit card? It is American.” I said. “No, no, this will not work here. This will not work anywhere,” she says as she waves the card in my face. I couldn’t believe it. This was the nicest hotel in Havana...

In honor of TSP 10 Year that kicked off this weekend. The shots from TSP4.0 with @citiusrc in 2018. Damn, that was a fun ramble with good people. 🤙🏻🏃🏻 PC: @emmmalouwhoo, @allisondobbsphotography
Ode to Winter. Pt. 1 —> ft. sunsets, friends, snow
Happy Valentines Day to my crusher wife @emmmalouwhoo. I appreciate you putting up with my goofy long hair, sometimes dumb ideas, and less-than-impressive iphone photos of us. But seriously - you’re the best part of me most people see, you li
Last Sunday, @van_of_ark and I reunited for a good ‘ol sufferfest in the Dacks. The objective was simple: feel good, don’t completely freeze, and ensure the food is tasty. Embracing New England has been incredibly rewarding. Classic ski
Hobbies are fun and important. They keep things light and are often turn out just alright. This is “Krampus”, a pumpkin ale I just brewed and finished this week. Weighting in at 6.5% ABV, I wanted to do a seasonal beer with local pumpki
Shots from our trip to the South Island and the most fun with my wife @emmmalouwhoo. Seems this was exactly what the doctor had ordered: mountains and not much screentime. 🤙🏻💃🏻🕺🏻
Last month was incredible. I sealed the deal with @emmmalouwhoo, friends and family showed up, and we all had a ball. So pumped to share these photos from the talented @bodolphin 🕺🏻💃🏻
Racing on a bike is tough for an aging, washed up dude like myself. Having @emmmalouwhoo there to support, regardless of how little heads up I give her or the weather means a ton to me. Last Saturday, as we ran out the door that morning I asked her
This photo is a little old, but so am I. Your 30’s are a truly special time. It seemed like 26 was so far away just yesterday. Nearly 5 years ago I found my partner, @emmmalouwhoo, who is as badass as she is caring, sweet, and supportive. W
Weekend away with the boys. What a celebration of all good things this year, a moment of relaxation and disconnection. Thanks for making it a special 48 hours. @van_of_ark @rshouser 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Scenes from our first July 4th weekend in Vermont. Runs, bikes, and stacking wood. Thankful for @emmmalouwhoo and the shared time spent together outside.
Settling into Vermont nicely with a race in Ascutney for memorial day weekend. Warm, rowdy, and fun. Helluva day for @emmmalouwhoo with a podium finish. 🤙🏻💃🏻 #speedup @dynafit @skratchlabs @emmmalouwhoo @vermontoverland 📷: @joevigerphoto
Stretch, dance, sing, learn, lead. The power of positive role models, collaboration, and common goals cannot be understated in a community like Butula, specifically at our program school Butula Hekima Academy. Play on. 🤙🏻
Impact. What does it look like? In January, I had the privilege of returning to Kenya, among a global pandemic still looming to deliver solar lights, coach lacrosse, and continue building an ever important relationship with my colleagues in Butula.
Stoked on this Heatmap of activities over the past few months, settling into Vermont. Looking to turn up the red here and start painting in the Northshire. Time to #speedup @dynafit #vermont #runvt #northshire #manchestervt #stravaheatmap
What a trip it has been learning to ski after sliding on the board for many years. Great way to get the ups, and get worked! Cheers @dynafit for the gear to #speedup. Thankful for some snow, cool weather, and culitivating a home here in Vermont wit
Stepped away and had a few days out in the coastal forest in Maine on Desert Island. Fulfilling to strip things down to the basics and be present. 🤙🏻🙏🏻
Holy stokes 🍁🍂 First time taking the gravel wheels out for a rip in the new space, what an awesome day from @hibernatormixedgravel. Not photoed here is the gravel-cross part of the course, may be time to get upgrade to 42’s 🚵🏻 PC: @mr.jayr
Closing things out here the best I can. What a gift it has been the past 10 years in Colorado. The people, the land, and the lessons. Taken on a local ride lastnight. 🤙🏻🚲
One week - two races. Great to spend some time with friends in Telluride and Arapahoe Basin to close out the summer and training. Nine months of running is a lot. I’ve felt lucky to be able to get outside, injury free and compete this year an
