I’ve spent this past summer traveling around Vermont, looking for the best multisport training – the best rides, the best running loops or running trails, and the best pools or open water swims. I did it partly for the adventure, but really, I did it to gather the information to start building this website – multisportmaps.com…. a comprehensive guide of places to train for serious athletes. I’m starting with Vermont – if you’re anywhere in the state, and want to know where the closest lap pool is, or you want to know where the closest killer-climb is, or you just want to take a nice, short run from your door, it’ll be here. The full site, with at least the Vermont information included, is being built now (it’ll launch this spring). In the meantime though, I’ll be publishing a blog, developing the Multisport Maps culture - sharing descriptions and reviews of some of the places I visited, sharing some pictures, some stories from the road, and really, writing on anything to do with endurance sports, Vermont, my new home (Colorado), or whatever’s on my mind. I hope you enjoy!

A Couple Quick Things

First, I got a new aero helmet in the mail today – I’ll be rockin’ the Rudy Project Syton next year. Of course, I had to take a spin with it on the trainer. Here’s what it looks like:


Second, some local kids were hitting a jump they made today – a picnic table wrenched against an apple box… pretty cool stuff. Here are a couple pics:


And last, congrats to friend-of-Multisport Maps, Chris Bagg, for his performance this morning at the 70.3 World Championship. Chris lived up to his “stud-pro” nickname, and went top-25 in the pro category… huge.
