As an athlete training for Ironman Mont Tremblant (her goal is to do it in under 11:15), a keyleader [...]
Contrary to popular belief it is still possible to get lost (even if you have an iPhone). Portland, you seriously tested our bearings and put Siri to work. Despite frustrated “aarghs”, wrong turns and the brief 20 minutes when we COULD NOT FIND VANNA, it was hard to stay mad at you and your strange [...]
