I spent quite a few of my days in Montana driving around the middle of nowhere with Alexandra Alter (seen in photo above), feature writer for the Wall Street Journal. She was great company as we searched for stories and photos and video that might capture the essence of a race chock full of […]

In addition to the many notes I was writing down into my Moleskine notebook (”the legendary notebook used by European artists and thinkers […]

Was out on the course for a good portion of the day (and without cell coverage, thus no live blogging). Started at TA2 (kayak put-in) and then ran down to TA3 to see how the transition from kayak to river boarding was going. Along the way we pulled over to watch teams paddle past us. […]
