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!

Checking in From Boulder

Well, the drive is over, and finally, I’m here in Boulder. I’m not settled in enough to pass along anything valuable, but suffice to say, it’s pretty sweet here! I’ve been running along the amazing trail network (with a view of the foothills), hiking up in the mountains, and just enjoying the wide open, vibrant feel of the city. I’ll certainly pass along more as I know it, and I’ll pass along a couple pictures when I get my camera back out, but for now, just one of me out walking up around 7000 feet:
