We've had a dry winter here in Boulder - no significant snow to speak of in awhile. But last night, a good 5 or 6 inches fell. Real nice, wet stuff too... what Vermonters call a sugar snow. We don't have any sugar maples here, and I haven't made any syrup (though I did eat some of my father's in my oatmeal this morning), but I figured I should still celebrate. So I threw on my running gear, strapped up my sneakers, and went for a long run. It was my best one all season... under weighted branches, and along rushing streams, all over our open space trails. It (of course) looks and feels different here in Colordao, but the time reminded me of Vermont. Protected, peaceful, and beautiful.
So, to you guys in Vermont: Enjoy the last of winter, and I'll see you soon.

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!
