A holiday view of the five best gingerbread house architects in the business.
Went under the knife Monday to fix up my labrum, and have thankfully bounced back pretty quickly. I did develop Horner Syndrome from the nerve block though, so I’ll take it as experiential learning for school. Supremely grateful for the support
Set aside school & sleep for the weekend to experience Grindstone 100. I ended up taking a DNF at mile 96 due to ankle injuries, but learned so much about racing and myself in the process (including how little you remember while running at night)
Recently it’s felt like I’ve been studying medicine with a concentration in trail running & cycling. It was good to step back this summer and make an effort to commit to getting out on trail and in the mountains more often. Thankful f
24 Hours in West Virginia: A funky motel with a bar, snowy waterfalls, and cross-country skiing with an adventurous mother. Feels good to forget about the obligations of school for just a second. #westvirginia #tuckercounty #whitegrassxc

6 months always goes by too quickly. It’s time to leave Breck and a whole bunch of stellar individuals. After a little Prius-tetris, and 3 burrito road-snacks I’m ready to go to Oregon. #fueldbychipotle #timeforrivers

Day 6 & Beyond Well I clearly didn’t keep up with the daily posts, but I’m flying home today with over 2k images and many great experiences. It also deserves mentioning that I spent these two weeks traveling with my mother. Pretty co
Day 5 – The Northern Lights There’s really no foolproof recipe to see the Northern Lights. The best you can do is find clear skies on a dark night and wait. With a little luck they’ll come out. We saw faint lights the night before
Day 4 – Arnarstapi to Laugarbakki There is a huge bathing culture in Iceland – there are over 160 baths in Iceland, so many towns have their own. Most baths are heated geothermically, and there are many natural hotsprings as well. These
Day 3 – Reykjavik to Arnarstapi It’s time to leave city life and depart on the Ring Road (Route 1). Ring Road is the main national road that encircles the island for over 800 miles. It was completed in 1974. Renting a car and driving thi
Day 2 – Thrihnukagigur Volcano On our second day in Reykjavik we took the morning to see the inside of Thrihnukagigur – a volcano that last erupted around 200 BC. The volcano is unique since the magma completely drained from the magma ch
I’ll be in Iceland for the next two weeks, and decided to revive this Instagram by posting a picture from each day. Enjoy! Day 1: Reykjavik Here’s a view from the top of Hallgrímskirkja Church looking towards the water. It’
The leaves are changing and Green Race is just around the corner. Few whitewater kayak races are as legendary as the Green Race - there’s even a boat named after & specially designed for the race! Here’s a shot of Jordan Poffenberger
Vietnam is a country of roughly 90 million, yet there are over 37 million registered motorbikes. Cars are both cost-prohibitive for the majority of the country as well as cumbersome on the streets. The constant barrage of motorbikes keeps you on your
18 days and 550+ miles later I’m done with the Colorado Trail! Here’s a “high point” of the trip following a freezing day of rain & hail. I had the pleasure of dealing with a good bit of snow and high mountain passes right
The Colorado Trail winds just over 500 miles of mostly singletrack across the state from Denver to Durango. I’m currently about 1/3 of the way through the trail, and while it’s been one of the more physically demanding adventures I’
A fine #reflection of the #canyon walls in Silver Grotto, Grand Canyon. This place is magical, and I long to return here. Listened to a #dirtbagdiaries podcast the other day (#paulsboots), and it had a good reminder to pursue your #dreams, and not pu
Niels Davis doing a little #exploratory #climbing in #Newfoundland. We camped on a small, rocky island just off the coast while #sea-kayaking. This rocky outcrop, jutting straight out of the ocean, looked exactly like a turtle, so we did a little bou
