From Boise to the Podium: Records, Firsts, and Unforgettable Memories March 11-17 2026

What an incredible week in Boise! Between the intense competition, personal milestones, and some much-needed team bonding, it’s safe to say this trip will go down in the books as a massive success.








I am so incredibly proud of Carly. She had an absolute standout meet, proving that all her hard work is paying off in a big way. Among her highlights:

• Helping set a new team record in the 400 relay.

• Securing a hard-earned time cut in the 200 free.


• Helping the ROCK relay team bring the heat to earn 3rd place in the 800 relay, edging out 4th place by a nail-biting .07 seconds!


Best of all, Carly is officially heading home with a medal!



It wasn't just a big week for the swimmers; it was a huge milestone for me, too. I had my very first experience officiating at the elite level! Getting to work the deck alongside so many fantastic Colorado officials was an absolute honor and an experience I won't soon forget.


We didn't spend the entire week smelling like chlorine. We managed to squeeze in some amazing sightseeing to round out the trip:

• Freak Alley: We checked out the incredible, ever-changing local street art.




• Boise Train Depot: Soaked in some local history and great views.

• Bruneau Dunes: Explored the amazing, towering sand landscapes.








• Boise Fry Company: Fueled up properly, because swimmers (and officials!) need their carbs.

It was truly a trip to remember, but there’s no rest for the weary! We're already packing our bags and heading onward to Mesa, Arizona for Zones.

Lathrop State Park July 3-6, 2025

Camping at Lathrop State Park: Beauty, Chaos, and Unexpected Moments Tucked at the base of the stunning Spanish Peaks and just three miles west of the nearly abandoned town of Walsenburg lies  Lathrop State Park , Colorado’s very first state park, established in 1962. Don’t let Walsenburg’s boarded-up buildings fool you—the park itself is a hidden gem. With two serene lakes (Martin Lake and Horseshoe Lake) and 1,600 acres of space, it’s the kind of place that surprises you in the best way. I managed to snag a reservation at one of the park’s 103 campsites five months in advance, and it paid off. Our site was super private, giving us plenty of room to spread out. We brought three tents, but thanks to Arlo (our enthusiastic and overly curious dog), the biggest one now has two holes. A metal crate is definitely coming with us next time. Day One: Barking in the Bathroom The first night, I went for a solo walk with Arlo under a sky so dark I could only see by headlamp. Of course, I had ...

First backpacking trip Barr Trail and Barr Camp July 25-26, 2025

A while back, Camilla asked me if I’d ever be willing to go backpacking with her. I’ll admit—I hesitated. Despite having run up and down Pikes Peak multiple times, the idea of   carrying everything on my back   made me anxious. But when your daughter invites you on an adventure like this, you say yes. And I’m so glad I did. To make things a little easier, I booked us a  bunkhouse at Barr Camp , so we didn’t have to carry a tent. Barr Camp is a historic, rustic cabin complex nestled along the Barr Trail—about 6.5 miles and 3,500 feet up from Manitou Springs, sitting peacefully at 10,200 feet. Originally built in the 1920s as a burro-train rest stop, it's now lovingly cared for by  Karla Lowery & Robert Tegtman , a sweet couple from Ohio who keep the camp running, meals warm, and spirits high for every weary hiker that passes through. We started gathering gear a couple of months before our trip. We got three  Teton Scout 45 packs , inflatable pillows, water fi...

6/1/25 Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon

Rediscovering San Francisco: A Journey After Two Decades It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 years since I last set foot in California and nearly 20 years since I’ve been to San Francisco. Seeing this city now, at this stage in my life, is a completely different experience than it was two decades ago. Back then, I thought of San Francisco as simply cold, windy, and crowded, with cool clubs lighting up the nights. Today, I find myself appreciating so much more — the stunning architecture, the vibrant wildlife, the incredible diversity of people, the amazing food choices, and the breathtaking landscapes that surround the city. After landing, Marion kindly picked us up from the airport, and we headed straight for lunch at Pacific Catch. Known as a West Coast Fish House, Pacific Catch impressed me with its commitment to sustainably sourced seafood and Pacific Rim–inspired dishes — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. Thursday night took a lively turn at Jaxson, where we dove into some...
