Myanmar | Mandalay
By S Mandalay was our first stop in Myanmar. Before I start on Mandalay specifically, I’ll provide a little background on Myanmar. For starters, Myanmar is different than the rest of Southeast Asia. Much of this is due to the fact that it is the ‘new’ tourist destination. By that I mean the country was […]
Vietnam | Dalat
By S Each place we visit, I find myself trying to summarize it in a few words. Mulu: caves. Cameron Highlands: tea, strawberries, hiking. Siem Reap: Angkor Wat, tuk tuk. Ho Chi Minh City: vibrant, coffee, motorbikes. I think this is a pretty normal human action. This is why stereotypes exist, right? We like to […]
Malaysia | Mulu National Park
By D and S Mulu is freaking awesome. Like in Kuching, we felt that there was so much more we could have done given more time (and more money, it really isn’t cheap). But, those are the limits of traveling the world with a set amount of time and a set amount of money. Some […]

Races In, roughly, chronological order: D – […]
Off Season Training: Speedy Half-Marathon
By Sam IMWI was in September. Ironman Boulder training starts in January. This leaves 3 solid months for my “off-season”. SO WHAT TO DO WITH ALL OF MY TIME?! Well, first and foremost – I re-read all 7 Harry Potter books. Because that’s how I roll. Number two, I signed up for a January half-marathon […]
