Getting Published!

Shortly after returning from my Appalachian Trail thru-hike I was asked to contribute a feature article to a fitness magazine.  The focus was to be on the sport of “Fastpacking” and since I had just hiked four and a half months on the AT, maybe I’d be able to give a little insight into the world of backpacking.

Fastpacking as a sport is a mix of ultra running, mountain racing, ultralight backpacking, and a little bit crazy.  I wrote about my own experiences, strategies I learned from fellow hikers, and my dreams of how I’d like to attack my next long trail, as an ultralight, ultrafast hiker.

I was asked to include pictures from my trip and the photo of my campsite in Vermont became the cover of this month’s issue of SB Fitness Magazine!
