May 1, 2013

I just wanted to share this feature about me in a newer wellness magazine called “Why Blue Matters.” I had fun answering all the questions. It was a great time to sit down and put on paper why I do things and why. It’s been a great journey so far. If you want to check [...]

Fruita with Elevation Outdoors

May 1, 2013

I’m getting close to being caught up! A couple weekends ago, I loaded into a lovely AWD sport wagon with some new friends from Elevation Outdoors and we headed to the winter haven for mountain bikers in Colorado – FRUITA. The sad truth was that despite living in Colorado for 8 years, I had never [...]

Catch Up

April 26, 2013

Now that I’m finally done with my Yak Attack race reports, I can fast forward to the now!  It’s been a whirlwind!  It’s hard to believe I got back over a month ago!  Three days after I got back from Nepal, I commuted back to my office (the airport) and hopped on plane to Dallas. [...]

Yak Report: Stage 10

April 24, 2013

Stage 10 always seems like a cruise after getting over Thorong La Pass. The last stage of the race is around 40 miles. We were are excited to get the last day done and were dreaming of sitting in the hot springs in Tatopani. In Nepalese, “tatopani” translates to “hot water.” I felt strong at [...]

Yak Report: Stage 9 – Thorong La Pass 17,769′

April 19, 2013

Stage 9 of the Yak Attack is the peak stage – the big one, the one that makes it the Yak Attack! After forcefeeding myself porridge, I got myself situated and my bike strapped onto my back along with my backpack. I made sure my boots were tight and that I had the right amount [...]

Yak Report: Stage 8 Phedi

April 17, 2013

Stage 8 was a big day in my book. It’s the biggest mountain day other than going over the pass. We woke up to snow falling from the gray sky. I wasn’t happy about the snow, but I remembered the snowy days at home. Days where my roommate would look at me like I had [...]

Yak Report: Stages 7 and Manang

April 14, 2013
