What's new in New York

Hey everybody!

Glad to see the team keeping busy this summer out there gracing every corner of the country and, even world, with some of Williams Nordic's finest.

I was lucky enough to start off my summer with a two-week backpacking trip in Malaysia and Thailand learning to eat with only my fingers and to use squat toilets (not easy for most, but being 6'6" doesn't help!)
Raub, Malaysia


But, for an update on The Empire State...

I've been getting in some good training roller skiing, biking, and running around Central New York and up in the Adirondack Mountains.

Some scenes from the skis...
Finishing up L3 as a storm rolls in

Rolling along the Raquette River soon after a black bear sighting



Lots of hiking and trail running in the Adirondacks...Mount Marcy (the tallest in NY) in the distance

But, gotta save time for relaxing. Here, strolling along Turtle Beach, Long Lake

Amphitheater lawn and Onondaga Lake

I spend the rest of my time working either at the new Lakeview Amphitheater in Syracuse on the shore of Onondaga Lake (the most polluted lake in America until a $1 billion clean-up project in 2012) moving tables and chairs most days or reading transcripts of every speech by the President of Uzbekistan in the last 10 years for my other job with a Syracuse University Geography professor.

It has been a great summer so far, but I've been missing the team and am stoked to reconnect with a bunch of the guys for a quick weekend of training and good times in Williamstown at the end of the month.
