Re: Extreme sports
Unpaved, rocky roads on a cyclocross bike so lots and lots of flats. Got real good at quick fixing them.
2800 mi from SeaTac airport to Homer Alaska. I think.

Cost of an Ironman. Yikes - this scares me more than the artic ultra. Though the swim portion of an ironman does also.

When Avery first moved to Colorado, he was sponsored by American Cannabis Company.
Avery had no difficulty finding additional sponsorships. As the perfect spokesperson for edibles and ultra-marathon running, he quickly found race sponsorship with Incredibles and Mary’s Medicinals.

Charles Manson and Sirhan Sirhan have passed through these iron latticed gates. Johnny Cash has performed here, earning a Grammy nomination and inspiring a young burglar named Merle Haggard. So many bebop greats did time for heroin that San Quentin used to field its own jazz band. Crips leader and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Stanley Tookie Williams (played by Jamie Foxx in Redemption) was executed here. Wife slayer and cable-news obsession Scott Peterson (played by Dean Cain in The Perfect Husband) awaits his turn. So do 725 other men, their fate likelier to be decided by old age, or their own hand, than by the state’s glacial appellate machinery.
“Guys will say, ‘Man, slow down, you’re going too fast,’ ” says Michael Keeyes, who is 68 and entering his 43rd year of incarceration. His response is a punch line: “I’ve got Dobermans on my heels!” He ran his first marathon in 2014, finishing in a respectable four hours and 29 minutes.
