I’ve run races from Aspen to Rio de Janiero, but never had an experience like the Medoc Marathon. It’s kind of like the Bolder Boulder, but on steroids.

Since I needed to long training day for…
Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park
Every year I take several long day trips to various lakes in Rocky Mountain National Park. While I’ve backpacked in the past, I’m not a big fan of packing a ton of gear in eight to ten miles, then living off bad food. Plus, getting a backcountry permit and bear containers are a real pain.…
