As far as my athletic background, I’ve competed in USCF bicycle racing, running and triathlons since college, (which was MANY years ago). I’ve done countless events of that type, but my longer distance stuff includes 6 Ironman distance triathlons(2.4 mile swim / 112 mile bike / 26.2 mile run), seven 100 mile or more runs and and many ultra trail runs (over 30 miles), most of those were done in the West in mountains, snow or desert. Probably the high points in my mind are my 1st 100 miler which was the Western States 100, doing my first Badwater Ultramarathon 10 days after doing my second Western States 100, and completing 3 Badwater Ultramarathons in a row.

None of this is very serious, and all of it is just for the fun of running, participating and being out there doing active things.
