TRAVEL / PLACES & ROUTES

Places that changed how I think.

Where I grew up, where I live now, and a few places I walked a long way to reach, with one lesson from each.

ON FOOT, ON WHEELS, IN WATER

Endurance, mostly as a way to think.

Long runs along the coast, a triathlon that took most of a day, and mountain trails where the plan changed every hour. None of it is about speed.

RACE

Ironman 70.3

Swim 1.9 km, bike 90 km, run 21.1 km. Pacing mattered more than fitness.

ALTITUDE

Himalayan trekking

Rest days, slow switchbacks, and knowing when to turn back.

ROUTINE

Running in Wales

Rain on most days, so I stopped waiting for dry ones.
