ENDURANCE SPORTS
In the past five years endurance sports have become a huge part of my life. They occupy a lot of my time and mental space and thus have had a big impact on my creative work as a composer, improviser, and interpreter. I mostly compete in triathlons of various distances as well as trail run races and mountain bike races. In 2012 I'm going to attempt to mountain bike over 2,500 miles as part of the Tour Divide. I’m not very fast, but I have a great time out there. The training and racing has changed my life and perspective on the world in many fundamental and important ways. Below is a list of some of the races I’ve completed in the last few years, with the distance of the race and my time.
