Sam and Erin are a newlywed couple taking an 18-month bicycle tour of Asia and Europe… and they’re bringing Sierra Blogging Post along for the ride.
We’re sending them Sierra Trading Post gear and they’re sending us great stories and photographs from their adventure. They just sent me their latest dispatch from Pakistan…
We can talk about this past weekend’s New York City Marathon all day but unless you run it or cheer from the sidelines, it’s tough to imagine what it’s really like. That’s why I like this video from our friend and “Out There Guy” Ryan Van Duzer – it shows us exactly what it’s like to run the New York City Marathon.
Duzer takes his camera everywhere (he recently raced a 3-speed cruiser across America) and the NYC Marathon is no exception. Watch as he runs from Staten Island to Brooklyn through Manhattan to Queens into the Bronx and onto the finish line with 43,000 + other people.
Thanks for sharing, Duzer and congratulations on crossing the finish line!
Jon Siefkes sent us this trip report with awesome photos from his annual wakeboarding and houseboat adventure on Lake Powell. Thanks, Jon!

Our very own Onsite Marketing Analyst and Wellness Coordinator Jen Boland just finished her 3rd Ironman Triathlon and took some time to write us a report on the race. Congrats, Jen!
Ironman Wisconsin Race Report
“I spent the summer preparing for Ironman Wisconsin. An Ironman is comprised of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and then a full marathon (or 26.2 miles) of running. This was my third Ironman, so finishing wasn’t really the issue. I wanted to race fast.
I trained very differently this year. I came to the sport of triathlon from swimming so I spent very little training time in the pool. In addition, because I work in Cheyenne and live in Fort Collins I have a one-hour commute to and from work each day. As my training became more intense, sleep became more and more important and many, if not most, of my early morning swim workouts went by the wayside. I did get in some long slow swims, so I knew I was prepared for the distance, but not as much for speed as I would have liked.
