Summer Shenanigans: Skilak Lake

Kenai River,  July 2015

A blissful weekend of campfires, stand up paddling, wake-surfing, eating fresh salmon, boating, puppies, and "beach" lounging in the land of the midnight sun - on the Kenai River, near Skilak Lake

 

Crow Pass Crossing

June 2015

A nice leisurely training run with my buddy Jeremy a few weeks ago. Started out a little cold and socked in, but turned into a nice day! Surprisingly no bear encounters, no river crossing disasters and we didn't even get lost once! (May have just jinxed myself...) I was a little sore from running the "high knee" drill for at least ten miles across overgrown trail (lots of roots and rocks- and the grass is already super tall!) Nonetheless a spectacular trail and experience! Can't wait for race day out here!

Trail: Girdwood to Eagle River nature center
Distance: 24 miles according to GPS (estimates range from 19.5-32)
Time: ? (lots of photo breaks..) Official crow pass crossing race (7-25-15) cutoff is 6 hours

not my tent...

awkward selfie. I'm not peeing, I promise!
