Activities

Good to be back on the saddle after a while! ~50km ride to Kovalam and back on a very relaxed pace with folks from TFI Chennai. If only chennai had some better weather!

Photo taken at: Mount Moosilauke First backpacking trip in recent years. Had a 27 pound backpack on and felt every ounce of it on my spine as we hiked up Moosilauke on Day 1. With a thunder shower forecast for the weekend, we had one person drop out from the team just the night before the trip. After the initial meet at the Appalachian Trailhead on NH-25A, eight of us packed in two cars head towards the Beaver Brook Trailhead at Kinsman Notch on NH 112. Started the hike at around 09:30hrs up the Beaver Brook trail. ...

Photo taken at: Walden Pond State Reservation Absolutely spell-bound. This is one place I would love to go back to!

Photo taken at: Bear Mountain State Park First hike of the year/season! Quite a lot of post-holing but was absolutely worth it! I ran the Bear mountain half a few years back. This hike brought back some good memories of that treacherous run!

Miss Me’s first puzzle of 2018. She finished it in about 10 hours staying awake till about 3 am! The colors and not to mention the underlying theme totally drew me to it. Looking forward to what we make out of 2018! Srikanth Perinkulam

Miss Me gifted me a months rock climbing pass for my birthday. Been at it for a few weeks now and we’re thoroughly loving it! Something that we’ve been wanting to do for a while now and I’m psyched we got to start it on my birthday. We try and make it to the gym almost every day. After a long day at work it’s amazing how just entering that space helps clear your mind altogether! An hour in and though you’re physically tired, you walk out with so much more energy. Goes without saying, it also aligns with one of my resolutions this year to work on my upper body strength. ...

Hiked up Albion falls in Hamilton, Toronto earlier in the day and drove over to this Bad axe-throwing place later in the evening. Srikanth Perinkulam

One of those weekends when you’re dead tired and relaxed at the same time. What was to be a low-key no activity weekend; turned out to be packed with a ton of impromptu events. Saturday was probably our most ’touristic’ day so far in Boston. Miss Me bought a couple of Groupon passes to the Mapparium some days back. On Friday we realised those were expiring soon and decided to head there this weekend. Two other places - The USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill monument have been on our list for quite sometime now. So Miss Me packaged these all together and chalked out a quick plan early on Saturday morning. ...

A good 31 miler weekend to close out the third training week. And with that I’ve met Miss Me’s mandated clause of sticking to the training plan at least till the end of January (I’ve never really trained for any of my long runs this far!) and bought myself an entry to the Wapack and Back 50 miler this May. Psyched! ...

PC&JC gifted Miss Me, little L and me a soaring gift for our birthdays. Four minutes of controlled flight ‘flew’ by incredibly fast. Calls for a return for some more certification dives soon and no, the solid whack at the end was not planned. https://youtu.be/x8pVQDQKvdM
