Sitting in my orthopedics’ waiting room for 45 minuets, reading "Outside" magazine (do I need to point out the irony?), I stumbled upon a very clever article by Marc Peruzzi, a Boulder compatriot. Boulderites love to be HARDCORE - at anything, preferably at everything. Hardcore Yoga, hardcore runners, climbers, bikers, trail-runners, tri-athletes (Boulder is the top triathlon town). Even better is that once a Boulderite finds a sport they like, they become specialized (bikram yoga, trail runners at altitudes above 11K, hard-tail mountain bikers, etc.)
Good lord it is exhausting to try to keep up. I like hiking, skiing, bouldering (which I’m sure will turn into climbing once I buy a harness), and a bunch of other GENERIC activities that living in Boulder provides easy access to. Don’t hate.
I HIGHLY recommend reading the following:
Caste AwayThis one is the inspiration for what I just wrote about.
and The Gore-tex VortexThis is is a well written article on the idiosyncrasies of the B-Town.
