I told my personal story of how I couldn’t for the life of me contemplate taking kayak classes – until a friend helped me understand all I really didn’t know. My complacency and false sense of security was exposed, and from that moment on, I was dedicated to learning and eventually teaching paddle sports. It was with that line of thinking, that Mountainman Outdoor Supply Company founded the Adirondack Paddling Symposium, which took place last June in Old Forge.

Dressed in cotton corduroy pants and other layers of cotton clothing, plus wool sweater, gloves and hat, I was semi-prepared for the task. Without gaiters, wet snow loved to cling to those pants. At the Watch Rock lean-to, my buddy revealed a pint of whiskey which we shared, and on the return my skiing skills deteriorated somewhat, but I was able to avoid serious injury and had a great time. These days, now much wiser and less ignorant, I don’t wear cotton clothing on the trail, I refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages on the tour, and I still have a great time.

By Skip Holmes It’s 5:30am and you could be waiting for the lifts to start at 8am in order to get first tracks on Whiteface after an overnight dump of fresh powder. Or, you could already be at the base of the mountain clicking into your bindings at 6am, and then turning on your headlamp to begin an upward trek to the top of the mountain, and then ski down before the lifts are even open!

The 500 acres included in the preserve were purchased by the Lake George Land Conservancy in February of 2012 and named in memory of Amy Wolgin Wiener. The property is a small ecosystem of ponds, marches and forests. The hiking trails were officially opened for public use in the summer of 2012. The original trails went through updates that were completed in November 2019 so if you have previously visited it’s a perfect time to return to see the changes.

I’m the luckiest guy on the planet.” Dennis Beardsley’s best friend describes him as unstoppable, and there’s not a shadow of a doubt about that. But, let’s put this in some perspective: June 29, 2019 – Dennis enters the water for the Tupper Lake Tinman triathlon, and quickly realizes that something is very wrong. With a well-documented congenital heart issue, discovered in his 20s, he makes the difficult decision to exit the race. The medical staff gives him nitroglycerin, runs some tests and rules out a heart attack, but sends him by ambulance to St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany, a three-hour ride from the race.

By Rich Macha For many of us, outdoor recreation is a priority. While our lives are on “pause,” we still feel the need to get out on the water and enjoy some paddling to soothe our souls, experience nature, breathe in some fresh air, and get some exercise while we are at it. There are, however, some changes to how we can and should proceed with our paddling endeavors.

E-scooters are capped at 15 mph, and riders under 18 years of age would be required to wear a helmet. Helmets are also required for riders of Class 3 e-bikes.

We can take care of having the best nutrients in our diet (and we should), but our built-in healthcare system is not complete, without moving our muscles and exercising frequently. You probably are reading Adirondack Sports because you are an active person. When I’m talking about athletes in this article, I mean basically everyone, whether you’re running or biking daily, or walking on a regular basis. I want you to know how different exercises affect your immune system in different ways. With this knowledge, you can design your workouts or activity depending on your situation, desire and goals.

Nurses often face several difficulties in their line of work because they serve many roles – and these roles often differ depending on whether they’re interacting with patient or physician. In addition to the potential stressors and hazards of the jobs there are also certainly many rewards that come with the role. Even in the best of times managing your own health and stress takes effort.

Occasionally, a special shirt is a “keeper,” like my Kona Ironman World Championship finisher tee, but most wind up on a shelf in the back of my bedroom closet. That was the destination for the 2002 CDTC Crystal Lake Triathlon shirt. The design was not my favorite, and I didn’t like the color, so it landed on the reject pile.

Schools closed. Theaters shut down. Stadiums locked… Overnight we went from overload to scarcity; from no personal time at all to way too much. Accompanying that, we acquired a new vocabulary: abundance of caution, social distancing, new normal, quarantine. As runners we are fortunate that ours is not a contact sport. Or is it? Think Boston, Freihofers or any mega start/finish line, and we have to reconsider. But unlike team players who really need a lineup, we can at least get out there solo or with family for our daily fix.

There have been many adjustments that families have had to make in these two months in order to earn a living, educate their children and stay active. With school closings and teachers adjusting to online learning there are likely to be hiccups along the way. With quarantine guidelines tightening to flatten the curve, families that may have wanted to hike in farther away destinations are faced with limited options. One option in these times is to multitask and get out to one of the many preserves available in the Capital Region.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP The Covid-19 pandemic in the United States was projected – in a worst-case scenario – to infect as many as 214 million and kill as many as 1.7 million. By June 15th, approximately 120,000 have died. This apparent success (it ain’t over till it’s over) is in part a result of a massive effort on the part of state and federal governments to reduce transmission of the virus via masking, social distancing, hand washing, quarantine of identified cases, as well as the closing of non-essential business/commerce, and keeping folks at home – and thus not congregating. While apparently meeting initial success, the strategy has had other deleterious effects on the economy and healthcare delivery that also pose a significant threat to the health of our population. A more balanced approach is needed.

However, it is not so easy for the tripper to find a true wilderness route in the Adirondacks of over 50 miles – one that is essentially motorless, does not cross any paved roads, and has minimal sights and sounds of civilization. Paddlers have traveled far and wide to places like Ontario’s Algonquin Provincial Park and Minnesota’s Boundary Waters to get that wilderness tripping experience. The Adirondack Park does not have the quantity of routes that those places offer, but it does offer areas of superior scenic quality, especially when it comes to mountain views.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In my last article on Covid-19, I argued for a more balanced approach to control of the infection that would avoid repeated widespread, draconian lockdowns and stay-at-home orders with consequent further damage to the economy. I showed how such economic damage itself would have a significant health consequence. This more balanced approach relied on risk-stratifying the population, reserving targeted lockdowns, extensive testing, and stay-at-home orders only for those older and sicker individuals at higher risk.

Many groups and individuals have completed the Lake George 12ster Challenge by climbing 12 of the most prominent mountain peaks in the area, some having completed the ‘ultra’ version of the challenge by doing all of the peaks in a 24-hour period, typically by driving to each trailhead. Tim came up with the idea of forgoing the driving portion and doing the ultra 12ster challenge completely self-powered by swimming across the lake using only what we carried with us on the 56-mile journey.

Since 1974 I’ve attended just about every William F. Eddy High School Track Meet as a competitor, a coach and as a spectator. The meet was cancelled this year because of the pandemic, and the day of the race I went out for a run and thought about some of my favorite Eddy Meet memories. My favorite occurred back in 1983, and it involved my best friend’s father Mr. Norm Coonley, who passed away a few years ago.

Originating in the High Peaks of the Adirondack Park, the river makes its way south, goes through several transitions, and eventually spills out into the Atlantic Ocean at New York Harbor. The named Hudson River starts out as the outlet of Henderson Lake. It is a rocky mountain stream for a while before it widens into Sanford Lake. Paddlers can put-in from County Route 76 and enjoy some mountain views. The Opalescent River enters below the lake and adds to the flow. You can paddle downstream for a while longer before reaching a long section of rapids.

If you do, then you’re poised at the threshold of your latest journey: redefining old age. It seems like just years ago I told Rich Busa of Western Mass Athletic Club, and one-time holder of the 70-year-old age group record at the Vermont 100, that I wanted to grow up to be just like him (he’s now 90). Now, at 73 years old, that time has definitely arrived, but I recognize that I’ll never attempt a100-miler – I simply couldn’t stay awake that long!

Additionally, one of the basic services of local public health agencies is in the provision of health education. For the past five months public health, science, and society at all levels have been wrapped up in addressing a separate basic public health service – communicable disease control. Covid-19 has demanded our attention in a fashion similar to Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs demanding our attention at a basic human level. Though not without due cause because infectious agents can demand our attention it is it is important for individuals to spend some of this time paying attention to their full physical, spiritual and social well-being, and not just the absence of illness.

After the marathon received revived attention following the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece, the Boston Athletic Association held the first race in April of 1897. In the ensuing 123 years the Boston Marathon has become a staple of Patriots’ Day, observed on the third Monday in April. As one of the oldest and most prestigious races in the world, part of the allure of Boston Marathon is its strict qualifying standards and its quirky, point-to-point course.

By Paul E. Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In the first five articles on Covid-19, I have stressed that the lifestyle approach of proven risk mitigation strategies – including masking, social distancing, handwashing and targeting quarantine – was essential to protecting us until natural infection (despite properly executed strategies) or preferably a vaccine had produced antibodies in the blood of a sufficient number of individuals to achieve herd immunity. To redefine that term: if you have no antibody protection from the virus, you need to be surrounded by individuals (the so called “herd”) who have antibodies to Covid-19 that protects the individual from exposure to virus. This is important to stop the transmission of the virus thru the population.

A family, new to kayaking, wanted ideas for places to paddle in the Adirondack Park that would be an easy drive from the Capital Region. There was a wide range of responses, some of them good, and some of them not so good.

The song was inspired by the fifth largest lake in the Adirondack Park – a bit smaller than Raquette Lake and larger than Schroon. I paddle a fair amount in the Adirondacks, but somehow had not been on Indian Lake for many years. A trip there was long overdue.

I averaged six minutes a mile to 20 miles and then I ended up finishing at 3:09, so it took me an hour and nine minutes to do that last 10K.” READ MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592dfa8e4b08369d0200646/1622646305395-8I3N4JO0TVAIS96HUTI8/2021-06-trail-running-02.jpg 2021-06-gallery - TRAIL RUNNING Hit the Dirt Running By Tom O’Grady If you are looking for a great way to improve your fitness this summer, consider lacing up your sneakers and hitting the trails.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In my first seven articles on Covid-19, lifestyle-based risk mitigation strategies – including masking, social distancing, hand washing, targeted quarantine, and, when necessary, lock downs – were recommended to keep the population well until a safe and effective vaccine was developed and “in the arms” of a majority of Americans. In this way, vaccinating the majority would result in so called “herd immunity” (see Non-Medicated Life, February 2021) and stop the transmission of the virus to the remaining minority who were not vaccinated.

Sure, road aficionados may encounter the occasional slick pavement or pothole, but it is not part and parcel of the anticipated experience. Trail runners, on the other hand expect and even relish mud, roots and twisty climbs. It is what they signed up for.

While the available vaccines, and probably a prior natural infection with Covid, protect against Delta causing severe disease and death, we have still not reached herd immunity – in which enough individuals have antibodies to the virus that transmission to those not vaccinated is stymied.

This may sound like a no-brainer to experienced riders, but even the pros get this one wrong now and again. The truth is, keeping your tires properly inflated on a bike is also a huge safety issue because unlike a car, which floats along on four huge 32 psi (pounds per square inch) balloons, bikes have two comparatively skinny tires, and that means you need to pay attention to them far more than you do in the car.

By Columbus Day weekend, the bright red and orange leaves of the red and sugar maple trees will likely have dropped to the ground, but the yellows of the birches and the golds of the beeches may still be evident. In the High Peaks, you should not be surprised to see snow-capped mountains in mid-October – the combination of fall colors topped with white is a sight to be seen.

Wild waterways, mountain highs, and lush forest all act as a backyard playground unlike any other. Six million acres of possibilities has lead locals and visitors alike to harbor a desire to explore and adventure the secrets of our beloved landscape, leading some to develop a passion for the Adirondacks that they can’t help but share with others.

Rental equipment was also incredibly hard to come by. It was a good idea to get completely dressed (and use the bathroom) before you arrived, since indoor amenities were limited. There were boot-up tents, port-o-potties, mask-wearing enforcers, tables without chairs, and limits on time spent inside. It was a lot, and most of the rules were a result of state mandates.

During the previous eighteen months of travel restrictions, some flocks became lazy and discouraged, rarely venturing beyond neighboring fields. They grew plump and are now dreading harvest possibilities. Others have kept on trucking, if ever so slowly, due to limited racing opportunities. Thankfully, though, race directors in charge of our local turkey trots have taken these factors into consideration and have carved a variety of alternatives to suit every level of training and comfort.

My relationship with it dates back to the late 1990s, and it’s always fun times when I return. Over the past two decades I’ve enjoyed many mornings and afternoons exploring its trails, as well as some memorable evenings camping next to its small interior ponds. Likewise, ours is a friendship that can be easily taken for granted; what was new territory for me in my twenties has now become a reliable source of accessible outdoor bliss, always there when I need it.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In my first nine articles on Covid-19, lifestyle-based risk mitigation strategies (including masking, social distancing, hand washing, targeted quarantine, and when necessary, lock downs) were recommended to keep the population well until a safe and effective vaccine was developed and “in the arms” of 85% of Americans. In this way, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination would help achieve so called “herd immunity” (see Non-Medicated Life, February 2021) and stop the transmission of the virus to those who were not vaccinated. Unfortunately, despite our having a safe and effective vaccine, many individuals for a variety of reasons have refused vaccination (see Non-Medicated Life, August 2021).

But for highly motivated individuals who need their running fix, this often proves an impossible task. Enter ‘fun run season’ where the emphasis is on rebuilding and reimagining. I wish I could claim credit for this phrase, but I borrowed it from Runner’s World coach Jess Movold, who coined it for the October 2021 issue of the magazine. Rather than implying a complete shutdown with a struggle to climb back to peak performance, this concept is easier for Type A personalities to deal with. Leave your watch at home, boycott Strava, and run (or do winter sports) as whim and desire dictate.

Maybe you’re contemplating a new setup to add to your quiver, like alpine touring or backcountry skis or maybe even a fat bike. Maybe you’re trying to convince yourself to come out of the house this season and try skiing for the first time, whether it be downhill or cross-country.

You are only as old as you feel. I toss those around a fair bit these days. As a kid I remember my parents turning 50 and thinking “man that’s old.” Now at 90 I figure my dad has another good 10 years (as his mother, uncle and aunt went past 100). But aging can be tough on athletes as you can’t hit the times you once did. A new distance or sport is typically the only way to a PR. You don’t see 60-70-year-old athletes winning local road races, but that doesn’t mean that we lose our ability.

In winter, it has become a popular destination for skiers as well as snowshoers. Although the round-trip distance is close to 10 miles, the terrain is relatively mild, and the route travels over a well-maintained dirt/gravel road that only requires a few inches of snow to make it ski-worthy. From the same trailhead, there is also more to explore than may initially meet the eye.

We are fortunate in New York to have some of the best trails in the world, from the recently completed Empire State Trail to the historic hiking trails in the Adirondacks and Catskills, and the new urban ‘complete streets” movement that is happening in our cities. While I’d never say that being more physically active can solve every problem, I am a total believer that it can be a very effective solution for a lot of the challenges we face. Spending more time outdoors and living a healthier lifestyle is good for ourselves, our communities and the planet.

Personal losses from death, divorce, war, and disease can stop us in our tracks, and many lose hope, struggling silently and often alone. Others, however, find that taking bold action is the best solace. Olya Prevo-White is an excellent example of that, doing enormous good on a local and global level, by bringing communities together.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP Over the past two years, the majority of the attention of this column has been directed to lifestyle and public health strategies to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. With the virus hopefully entering an endemic stage, it is time to turn our attention back to a killer no less daunting than SARS-CoV-2 – I am speaking of cardiovascular disease. In the last two years, Covid-19 has killed one-million Americans. In that same period cardiovascular disease – primarily heart attacks and strokes – have killed more than 1.6-million Americans. It is, indeed, time to refocus on this killer and the lifestyle strategies that combat it, which can in some studies reduce cardiovascular death and non-fatal heart attack by 70%.

The canoeists enjoyed a variety of usage including transport, warfare, hunting and fishing. The new European settlers arrived in the mid-1800s. They were immediately drawn to travel by boat along the connecting bodies of water which make up the Adirondacks.

Lately, though, SMBA has not been so quiet. At the last Trail Day in April, over 40 volunteers, ages five to 65, showed up ready to work. If you have been to Daniels Road, you have probably noticed that there is no litter in the parking lot or along the trails. Downed trees are cleared within days. SMBA VP Owen Dougherty may have been spotted riding in with a chainsaw on his back and a rake in his hand (SMBA does not recommend this!). Each and every ride becomes an opportunity to maintain the trails. That sense of collective responsibility and ownership is what makes SMBA a special organization.

By Robert C. Lawrence It was a beautiful June day on a peaceful, calm Lake Durant, located not far from the hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake. Schools were not yet out for the summer, so the adjacent Lake Durant State Campground (William Durant, builder of Adirondack Great Camps) was empty. A pair of adult and young loons put a show on for my wife and me as we sat in our kayaks. While observing these majestic Adirondack icons, we noticed Blue Mountain looming above us. Knowing that I have both a degree and a self-taught background in history, my wife, Carol Ann, asked, “Where does Blue Mountain get its name?” I told her I did not know the answer and suggested we drive to the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake (now the Adirondack Experience) the following day to buy a book on regional place names.

My story began during the summer of 2009. For many years, I suffered from depression and anxiety, for which I did not seek help. Some days, the anxiety was overwhelming, like I was drowning. Other days, the depression felt like a 100lb weight crushing my mind and body. One day, that summer, I attempted suicide. I didn’t commit and that’s when I knew I had to ask for help. That day, I began my own journey to believe in and love myself.

I was taught not to jump on people or go crazy when a visitor came to our house, but I couldn’t help running circles around Uncle Ray and doing figure-eights in between and around his legs. He always says, “That’s a good-lookin’ dog you got there, Joe!” READ MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592dfa8e4b08369d0200646/1657227864403-G7YMLZX4I9WIIFA084OM/2022-07-non-med-life-01-1500px.jpg 2022-07-gallery - NON-MEDICATED LIFE You Are What You Drink By Paul E. Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP Medicines are a mainstay of American life and the healthcare system not only because they are perceived to work by the individuals taking them, but also because their benefit may be shown by the objective assessment of scientific study. Clinical research trials have shown that some of the medicines of Western science may reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular death. In the first 104 installments of the Non-Medicated Life, certain dietary practices and a healthy lifestyle have been shown to accomplish naturally for the majority of individuals most of the benefits of medications in the prevention and treatment of chronic medical conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, diabetes and heart disease. The dietary practices for the most part focus on foods. However, there is evidence for health benefit and risk also in your choice of beverage. This article will focus on water, tea and coffee.

In any season, on any trail, alone or with friends, nothing compares to the sense of peace, presence of mind, being in-the-moment bliss of turning the pedals. Cycling has been a priority and a constant presence in my life for close to 30 years. The desire to ride at the level and capacity that I choose has influenced major life decisions, including when and how I work, where I live, and the people I call my friends. Bikes have become my lifestyle and have provided me with an invaluable community of people who understand and share my passion.

It is a challenge, it is a journey, it is rewarding, it is frustrating, it hurts, it is elating, it is agony, it is a party, but it is possible!” But what if you were told ‘you can’t do that,’ ‘you’ll get hurt,’ or ‘we can’t help you.’ That’s what Megan Hale heard until the summer of her 13th year. Born with a visual impairment resulting in no peripheral vision and about 20/400 vision meant she can see basically nothing.

There is nothing wrong with that way of thinking, but sometimes it’s important to remember that wildness is something you can also descend into.

Throw in a couple of Adirondack great camps and some history into the mix and you have a most-interesting day of Adirondack-style paddling. I recently got to revisit the Paul Smiths area and paddle from Church Pond through to the Osgood River via Osgood Pond.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In the previous installments of the Non-Medicated Life, certain dietary practices and a healthy lifestyle have been shown to accomplish naturally for the majority of individuals most of the benefits of medications in the prevention and treatment of chronic medical conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, diabetes and heart disease. How to change dietary and lifestyle practices with the necessary support from our existing healthcare delivery model, however, is not straightforward and requires, I believe, a new approach.

A retired firefighter and emergency medical technician for the City of Gloversville, he’s always been an early bird. As a new member of the Albany Rowing Center, he’s an inspiration for others. Five years ago, the man affectionately known as Walt suffered a life-altering injury to the T2 and T3 vertebrae on the upper part of his spine. He described it as a “freak accident,” which occurred when he twisted wrong, causing a slow rupture in his spinal cord that took nearly a week to discover. “I started out with chest pain,” Walt recalled. “We were loading fire hose, and I thought, ‘Maybe I just pulled a muscle or something like that.’” READ MORE https://www.adksports.com/2022-10-gallery daily 0.75 2022-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592dfa8e4b08369d0200646/1666374724090-YUW8IYVWLGD7D9E97PWE/2022-10-running-01-1200px.jpg 2022-10-gallery - RUNNING & WALKING Bounty of Fall Races By Laura Clark With winter fast approaching, do you find yourself with something to prove?

They are the most obvious choices and the easiest to find. But what if you had to travel a little bit of distance to get from the parking area to the start of the trail? What if a large lake stood between you and the trail you wanted to hike? That is exactly the situation at Big Moose in the western Adirondacks.

The rugged terrain was taking its toll, but my body was finally settling into the race, and I became more focused on moving forward as the competitiveness inside me started to simmer.

My friend and high school teammate Kevin Scheuer drove me and another friend to the race. I remember it was cold and icy when we arrived in downtown Troy. I was both excited and nervous to finally run a race on the roads and the Troy Turkey Trot was the biggest and most prestigious race in the area.

In the Capital Region there are turkey trots in Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, Glens Falls and other places, and the largest and most famous of them all is in Troy. Some of us dress in funny costumes, walk or jog the course and make an early morning party out of it, and some of us train all year with the hope of improving on the time you had run a year ago.

Unless you are hiking the backcountry carrying a heavy pack, there is no reason to duckwalk in giant sized-by-weight snowshoes. For most outings, whether hiking or running, a shorter, lighter model will serve you just as well. With a three-minute learning curve, and relatively inexpensive gear, the cost is minimal. There is no need to be afraid to sign up for a race as most folks will alternate running with hiking, especially on the hills. Bid farewell to icy roads and skidding cars and relax in a natural setting.

The general rule about increasing mileage is to increase no more than 10% each week. Sign up for a spring 5K, run or walk training challenge, and consider a longer goal of a 10K, half or marathon.

You actually race those things?” The incredulity is common. Some people get involved with paddlesport racing in a logical manner.

I finished the last of the 46 high peaks in August 2022, on Whiteface Mountain. On that same afternoon, I saw at least three others who also finished their 46er quests on Whiteface. It was a gorgeous perfect-as-only-the-Adirondacks-can-be day, so surely there were others also on other peaks. I knew of at least one other finisher that day, a little four-year old, who hiked Marcy as her final peak, the youngest ever person to become a 46er. What do I have to be proud about… When I received my certificate it said, congratulations, 46er finisher number 14,803… that is far back in a very long line, was my first thought. In 2022 alone, over 800 persons became Adirondack 46ers!

But for runners, fall signals marathon and half marathon season, which is much more than a wake-up, glance out the window and register for a morning race kind of thing. Prior planning to cover such a long distance is essential. The good news is, by the time September rolls around, the hot and humid holding pattern we are stuck in now will hopefully dissipate. The bad news, is of course, we are stuck pounding out long runs in suboptimal conditions. But do not become discouraged with slower than expected training times as a crisp fall day will yield bonus minutes.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In the first 109 installments of the Non-Medicated Life, a healthy lifestyle has been shown to accomplish naturally for the majority of individuals most of the benefits of medications in the prevention of the chronic medical conditions mentioned above. In addition, however, healthy lifestyle choices may also help prevent you from contracting several infectious diseases, including Lyme disease. Because Lyme disease is so widespread, the transmission so insidious, and the consequences so serious when recognized only later in its course, it is important to determine how simple actions and behaviors may actually help prevent Lyme disease in the first place.

Who’s waiting for cool temps during swimsuit season? Runners with a fall goal race! While it’s tempting to kick back during the dog days, if you have a fall event, summer is the time to be focused, whether it’s a distance, time or destination. These September races are great goal races and/or opportunities to test out your training, endurance, speedwork, nutrition and everything else if you’re pursuing longer races.

No message, no swim. I don’t get wet now unless it’s for a reason. –Lewis Pugh Many of Adirondack Sports readers recreate in the rivers and lakes in upstate New York. We have a fleeting thought about the quality of the water as we embark on the swim portion of a triathlon, pull out the paddleboard, wade in to fish or kayak some rapids. We are blessed with many clean freshwater lakes that feed the rivers that have carried us and supported our economies over the years. People have inhabited this area since the last ice age and for thousands of years tribes like the Lenape lived in harmony with the environment.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP Medicines are a mainstay of American life and the healthcare system not only because they are perceived to work by the individuals taking them, but also because their benefit may be shown by the objective assessment of scientific study. Clinical research trials have shown that some of the medicines of Western science may reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, cardiovascular death, and even some cancers.

We read about many sports that engage athletes over their lifespan on the pages of this publication. From hiking, skiing, running, swimming, biking, tennis, and golf – these sports attract athletes of all ages. According to the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition Science Board, 73% of adults who play sports also did so when they were young. We may know someone who swam in a summer league as a kid and continues to enjoy lap swimming as an adult.

But like it or not, the outdoor season comes to an end, and we are forced to move our workouts to an indoor pool at a local fitness club, high school, college or community center. The challenges of returning to swimming in an indoor pool for many months of the year can include finding a facility with lap swimming hours that match our schedule, getting a lane, endlessly staring down at the black center line, and dealing with the effects of chlorine!

Thus we have inherited today a region full of features named Potash Mountain, Soda Range, Coal Dirt Hill, Spruce Mill Brook, Big Slash Mountain, and Limekiln Mountain. These were not places for adventure or romantic contemplation of the sublime, but places where commodities were to be exploited. This historical ambivalence perhaps explains the current scenario, in which only a patch of wilderness remains preserved – almost all of it in the highest reaches of the range.

And reflect carefully on the phrase “fly away.” In many instances we would fly to a place, but around the holidays many of us feel compelled to point our wingtips toward our home of tradition, rather than our home of current residence. Wherever your Home for the Holidays might happen to be, and whoever your flock might happen to include, Thanksgiving is the time to tune up your navigation instruments, either for a cross-country ultra or for simply cruising around the block.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In the first 111 installments of the Non-Medicated Life, a healthy diet and lifestyle has been shown to accomplish naturally for the majority of individuals most of the benefits of medications in the prevention of the chronic medical conditions mentioned above. In order to maximize the benefit of lifestyle changes it is best to first establish a baseline of laboratory tests of so called “surrogate markers” of risk. Markers such as fasting blood sugar, Hgb a1c, total cholesterol, HDL (the good cholesterol) and LDL (the bad cholesterol) and Triglycerides (blood fats) are routinely followed serially to determining increasing or decreasing risk. After a discussion with your primary care physician or cardiologist additional testing may be helpful. “Advanced” cholesterol testing such as High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (HS-CRP), Apolipoprotein B (Apo B), Trimethylamine-N Oxide (TMAO), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance LipoProfile (NMR LipoProfile) may offer additional identification of risk and when measured serially may help direct and refine lifestyle choices. In this two-part article, Part One will address the first two advanced tests, Part Two the remaining advanced tests.

However, the growing sport of ultra trail running routinely has people doing that and more. Each trail race is a unique adventure, rooted in the idea of sharing an awe-inspiring place with like-minded runners. On October 21, the inaugural Buck 50K united volunteers, runners, forest rangers, and others along the shores of Lake George. The mountain route – from YMCA Camp Chingachgook in Kattskill Bay to Buck, Sleeping Beauty, Black, Erebus, Buck and back – proved to be an excellent challenge.

Best Bets and Pitching In By Josh Clevenstine Prior to the 2020 winter I was one of the many riders who pretty much hung up the bike after autumn daylight savings did its damage. Once the snow was on the ground, I snowboarded until spring. I still love snowboarding every Saturday through the season – this has NOT changed. But I HATED not being on my bike for almost six months of the year and having to restart the conditioning cycle in the spring. Each year, I was getting more frustrated by the end of mountain biking season. By autumn of 2019, I was more bummed about biking season ending than I was stoked for snowboard season starting. Finally, I “caved,” bought lights, a fat tire mountain bike, and I have NEVER regretted it. Hello year-round mountain biking and goodbye off-season!

Beginning in Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the course travels to Banff and through the states of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico before ending at the Mexican border in Antelope Wells. Along the approximate 3,100-mile circuitous path, the route crosses the continental divide about 30 times while gaining and losing some 200,000 feet in elevation. The surfaces include approximately 2,100 miles of dirt road, 60 miles of singletrack, 900 miles of paved road, and 50 miles of paved bike path.

As you travel south on NY Route 30 from Tupper Lake, you can’t help but notice its bald summit standing 500 feet above the highway. Its summit features a 360° view and it is therefore a popular, easy climb. A relatively short hiking trail leads to its summit, making this small mountain all the more accessible.

Because It’s Fun! By Alex Kochon Cross country skiing is fun to learn, healthy, family-friendly, accessible, affordable, and it offers great variety! It uses natural movements – doesn’t require special skills to get started and has a short learning curve. Just an hour or two spent being coached by a professional instructor will give you the skills needed for a lifetime of fun!

Unlike skiing, snowboarding or fat biking, snowshoeing can be undertaken in conditions that would turn other activities into a serious slog. Plus, you can always meander sideways off an icy trail onto nice, woodsy snowpack without danger of disturbing the environment.

It all started in 2015 when we hiked up Cascade Mountain (#1) with our four-year-old daughter, Sophie, our two-year-old son, Eddie, and our three-year-old nephew, Jacob. Sophie and Jacob were clearly very proud of themselves for making it all the way without having to be carried (Eddie was in a backpack carried by Chris). It was such a wonderful feeling to see these tiny kids accomplish something difficult all by themselves. On the way down Chris excitedly talked about how great it would be if we could do all of the peaks as a family.

It is not a new philosophy, but we’re in an age where it has become more and more prevalent. It is called “stotanism.” The first usage of the word stotan was by the eccentric Australian running coach, Percy Cerutty, in the 1950s and 1960s. He uses the term to explain why one of his top protégées, Herb Elliot, the great Australian miler, was different from other runners. Stotanism combines the ability to endure pain (stoic) with the never-say-die philosophy of Spartan soldiers. At the heart of stotanism is the age-old adage, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” and its corollary, “No pain, no gain.” More on the terrible fallacy of these clichés later.

There is a lean-to near its east shore and an attractive campsite near the outlet, either of which would be a fine setting for a weekend backpacking trip. Bullhead Mountain serves as a pleasing backdrop, although its position to the west causes the sun to set prematurely in the evening, from the perspective of anyone camping on the east shore. Hour Pond has been known as a recreational destination for several generations, but an explanation for its unique name has not yet been uncovered.

It was just under a mile each way, but rural roads weren’t plowed back in 1944. “We didn’t think of that as cross-country skiing,” Walter recalled. Without buses or viable transportation in the winter months, skiing to and from school was a necessity.

The history is steeped in competition and gear development to ride longer and faster establishing a Fastest Known Time (FKT) on developed routes. There are two variations, the Independent Time Trial (ITT), which can begin any day and time of the year, and the group start known as The Grand Depart, with a scheduled start date and time.

You start and tackle milestones as you progress. Those could be distance or time goals, and often you hear the phrase ‘enjoy the journey.’ For kids in high school and college, times matter, but you’ll hear good coaches talk about the process. When you’re in the middle of a season that might not be going well, there tends to be little joy in running. It is all about completing the workout, hitting the times, and doing well at meets. This pressure can come from a variety of places: self-inflicted, coaches, parents, teammates, and nowadays social media. As you’ll learn from Niskayuna native, Lou Serafini’s story, when the joy is present, great and fun stuff follows.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP It is generally taken as established fact that fiber is good for us. For example, we are told it keeps our bowels regular. Many folks with constipation have learned through self-treatment of this benefit. Consequently, we may search out products either high fiber cereals, or fiber supplements like psyllium. But these are products. In reality, fiber is a natural part of all plants. When we eat plants – vegetables, fruits, and unprocessed grain – we are eating fiber.

Away we go, on our bikes!

Now it’s time to reap the rewards of that dedication and get out to ride in just a jersey and shorts. Remember what that’s like? Even if you’re a casual cyclist, the summer sun blesses everyone on a bike, so call up your calendar for the summer and mark these dates and events.

By Laura Clark With so many race options in June, unless you don Dorothy’s red shoes or, more recently, Hermione’s time-turner, every weekend presents an eenie, meenie, miny, mo dilemma. The only option would be to compete back-to-back Saturday and Sunday, but even then, these races are so heavily stacked that you would still be missing out. Perhaps this is the time to reserve one day for racing and the other for running with your kids – provided they are still slower than you are! – or mentoring a beginning runner.

Some of the more popular destinations include Fish Creek and the ponds that surround it. A loop can be made that incorporates Fish Creek with five ponds entailing less than a half-mile of relatively easy, by Adirondack standards, carries. Adventurous paddlers can add a side trip to another pond along the way.

Whether referring to your individual mountain biking journey of progression; the trail network at Daniels Road or Pittstown state forests; the rapidly-growing popularity of winter fat biking on The Snowlercoaster; or the greater goal of fostering, promoting and protecting mountain biking in the Capital-Saratoga Region, growth and improvement are synonymous with SMBA. The past couple years have seen some tremendous deliberate moves made that have set up, what is likely to be, a fantastic year.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP Medicines are a mainstay of American life and the healthcare system not only because they are perceived to work by the individuals taking them, but also because their benefit may be shown by the objective assessment of scientific study. Clinical research trials have shown that some of the medicines of Western science may reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular death.

He was my first love, and I thought we’d be together forever. He moved away while in high school. When I graduated our family moved to Florida where I attended travel school,” she says. Thirty years later, after having a career, getting divorced and raising two sons, she found that boy again. Mark and Tonia are still madly in love and now run Wilson Endurance Sports.

When I was young, I had a newspaper route that was eight blocks from my home and I carried my papers to it, lest someone pilfer from my meager profits. I played baseball in high school. I put a ton of miles on my Fuji S10s road bike. I was on the ice every winter, slapping pucks all over the place. I ran, walked, and worked out at home. My senior year I didn’t even have to take Phys-Ed; they offered me “independent study” credit. I simply had to log my activities whether I was bowling or pumping iron.

Shamus led the way as I trained for dozens of marathons in his early years. In 2013, Shamus became more than just my training partner. That year he and I began racing together. Since then, we have run countless road races of every distance, trail races, triathlons, ultramarathons, and of course, our transcontinental runs across America in 2015 and length of the Mississippi River in 2017. Over the years, running Boston together was always in the back of our minds. Shamus had heard me speak about the Boston Marathon for years… the history, qualifying standards, Dick and Rick Hoyt paving the way for duo teams like us, the party atmosphere of the race, and of course, the hills! While Boston was always something we wanted to do, it was never an immediate goal because we knew, per Boston Marathon rules and regulations, that Shamus could not participate until he turned 18.

Part of the Old Military Tract, it was first surveyed by John Richards in 1812, then remained untouched until 1921, when surveyor A.H. King reran the line, finding some of Richard’s own marks and “boxing” them for identification. I’ve bushwhacked part of the line, but not the part where these old survey marks might yet be discovered. Richards’ blazes are no doubt long gone, however King’s, made a century ago, might still be visible to the trained eye.

So where can you go to find quieter and wilder waters in the Saratoga and Glens Falls region to get in a few miles of paddling? Two spots come to mind, the Hudson River on either side of the Spier Falls Dam, and the Kayaderosseras Creek along with Lake Lonely Outlet.

The park, along the Helderberg Escarpment near Voorheesville, is 15 miles southwest of Albany. The route previously known simply as the Tricam Project was first ascended on May 24 by Ryan Almeida of Manorville. The route difficulty is rated at 5.13 which is near the top of the 5.1-5.15 Yosemite Decimal System scale. Routes at this rating are typically only climbed by elite and professional-level athletes. “It was super fun climbing throughout, but the culminating top section itself left for a pretty stressful conclusion,” Ryan said. “I didn’t expect to experience that level of climbing based on other routes in the area.” READ MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592dfa8e4b08369d0200646/1718646352111-LD66C7LHMAMOEGOGD4ZO/2024-06-athlete-profile-01-1200px.jpg 2024-06-gallery - ATHLETE PROFILE Lisa Chase – Embracing Opportunities as They Come By Kristen Hislop Have you ever wondered what might have been like if you had had someone who saw something in you early on?

For many, open water swimming means jumping off a dock or the side of a boat into a quiet lake or river for a refreshing dip on a hot, summer day. For others, it’s those opportunities for steady, but leisurely recreational swims for exercise and to enjoy nature during time spent at a state park, a lakeside family camp, or while away on that coveted summer vacation. For the more fitness conscious, an open water swim might offer an occasional alternative in our weekly schedule of visits to the gym or pool. And finally, for athletes, open water swimming means regular trips to a lake for specific workouts while training for a triathlon or open water swim race.

Middle school was hard enough mentally and socially when I was a kid without having social media and smart phones. The difficulties of the early teen years are exponentially turned up to an unhealthy degree thanks to the constant connection of smart phones, social media and the overall net-negative these things bring. All that said, it is one thing to point the finger at a problem, but it is quite another thing to step up and be a part of the solution. Well, it is time to give some serious credit where credit is due – thanks to Saratoga Shredders, the Saratoga Springs City School District, and some very generous donors, the world of cycling is being brought to students as a deliberate step towards improving mental and physical health, promoting healthy social activities, community and purpose, and bringing equity in this cost-prohibitive sport to ALL kids at SSCSD.

Matt, 40, is survived by his wife, Stella, 18-month-old son Milo, parents Bill and Linda, and sister Kara. Matt was my brother Bill’s only son. The shock and grief that everyone who knew Matt is only tempered by the shared memories of Matt and all the lives he touched. I wish to share these thoughts with my friends and the outdoor community because many of you embrace Matt’s love of the outdoors coupled with the need to challenge yourself daily both physically and mentally.

Her parents Michael Lopez and Betsy Timoney raised her to believe she was just like everyone else, “no special treatment, no babying, and no excuses.” She and her friends see her as “one of the girls.” It isn’t surprising that Emily never thought about competing outside of the general sports. She tried out gymnastics, soccer, skiing, taekwondo, and track and field. It was track and field that fueled her soul.

By Indigenous Peoples’/Columbus Day weekend, the bright red and orange leaves of the red and sugar maple trees will likely have dropped to the ground, but the yellows of the birches and the golds of the beeches may still be evident. Thanks to climate change, in recent years the best colors have been persisting through to the holiday which falls on October 14 this year – perhaps a little bit late for peak in higher elevations in the Adirondacks. After that date, the colors should pop in the lowlands and the Hudson River Valley.

By Laura Clark Growing up in Queens, I have fond childhood memories of dragging my feet in the gutters for the sheer pleasure of kicking up piles of leaves. Now I do the same on upstate trails, although I must admit my more grown-up pleasure is to study the mosaic of colorful leaves at my feet and vow (yet again) to learn how to quilt. This childlike joy translates to the running community where it seems as if every weekend offers at least six running options. Rather than dashing like a mad hatter from one to the other, use these listings to select your races thoughtfully according to your personal game plan. Seeking to up your mileage or turn in a decent 5K in crisp, clear weather? Want to try a new, pre-marked trail in the woods? Want to do all of this and support meaningful charities? Whatever.

You also had to give a speech or take a public speaking class. I tested out of the swim test (since I was on the team) but had to take public speaking and it was traumatizing. Those are probably two of the scariest challenges people face! Some mothers put their kids in swim lessons and give them the basics. Others like to prep their kids for the bigger challenges ahead, so they tell their kids they only have to swim until they can beat them in 100 meters (me) or 1650 meters (Cynthia). Corinne Boyle’s mom Cynthia swam in college and was preparing Corinne for greatness. The swimming team started in first grade for Corinne and by the time she was 13 she didn’t want to quit! Her mom had actually said swim until you are 13 or beat my time of 18:38 in the 1650. As a sprinter she was not interested in going long, but by 13 had formed some fast friendships and a love for the sport.

Yes, many of those changes are imperceptible during a human lifetime, but a few unfold much more rapidly. The wilderness I once knew is no longer the same one I visit today, in some ways.

It wasn’t until my late 20s, while on a boat trip with my future father-in-law, that I experienced the Troy Federal Lock firsthand. As we journeyed up the Hudson and into the Waterford Flight of Locks, the rising water lifting the boat higher and higher sparked a newfound fascination. The flight is a set of five locks that raise/lower boats 170 feet between the Hudson and Mohawk rivers. I was captivated and eager to learn more about the Erie Canal, which is celebrating its bicentennial in 2025.

And this makes sense from a practical standpoint, if not from a community perspective. For those new to the sport, events offer a perfect introduction, a chance to meet fellow enthusiasts, trade tips and outfitting ideas. Most races like the WMAC Dion-NeviTREK Series offer rentals to sample before you make the investment. Starting out, it looks as if we may be in store for some beautiful snow conditions. But even if trails are less than ideal, your rugged snowshoes can handle them and jump around snow patches, while XC skis are less nimble. Keep this in mind if you are a confirmed skier and do consider shoeing on those less than ideal days.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In the first 112 installments of the Non-Medicated Life, a healthy diet and lifestyle has been shown to accomplish naturally for the majority of individuals most of the benefits of medications in the prevention of the chronic medical conditions mentioned above. In order to maximize the benefit of lifestyle changes, it is best to first establish a baseline of laboratory tests of so called “surrogate markers” of risk. Markers such as fasting blood sugar, Hemoglobin (Hgb) A1C, total cholesterol, HDL (the good cholesterol) and LDL (the bad cholesterol) and Triglycerides (blood fats) are routinely followed serially to determining increasing or decreasing risk.

He talked about how he was judged for what he said and did by others who thought they had it all figured out. Sometimes that sounds like the multisport world. You often hear people talking about an event they have done, saying ‘you should do it’. But rarely do we ask what kind of course suits you, what sports do you love, what are you doing currently?

Did you know: National Girls & Women in Sports Day began in 1987 and celebrated this year on February 5. International Women’s Day began in 1911 and celebrated every year on March 8. Both of these days are meant to celebrate the accomplishments and achievements for and by women, and to bring attention to some of the challenges that women face in sports, business, and life. March is also Women’s History Month and this year’s theme is Moving Forward Together, designed to recognize the contributions of the many women before us as the foundation for the continual advancement of today’s women.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In the first 119 installments of the Non-Medicated Life, a healthy diet and lifestyle has been shown to accomplish naturally for the majority of individuals most of the benefits of medications in the prevention of the chronic medical conditions mentioned above. With respect to defining a healthy diet, a whole food, predominantly plant-based diet such as the Mediterranean diet has the most data to support it.

Before that, it was owned by the Finch Pruyn logging company and closed to the general public for more than a century. Since its acquisition, the OK Slip Tract has become a popular hiking destination. Now managed as part of the Hudson Gorge Wilderness, its star attraction is OK Slip Falls, an extraordinary waterfall located a short distance south of the Hudson River.

It was around that time that the Tokyo Marathon (an ASICS sponsored event) began to entertain the idea of a few select duo teams entering the event in 2025 as a proof of concept. The goal would be to gain feedback about the logistics, course, and the experience from a duo perspective.

Kennedy Nestled in the heart of Upstate New York, Troy is a city brimming with natural beauty and historical significance. Among its treasures are breathtaking waterfalls woven into its landscape, each with its own story to tell. These infamous tributaries were instrumental for the industrial development of Troy, due to close proximity to and flowing into the Hudson River. You can easily explore seven wonderful waterfalls around Troy, which are conveniently located within a 10-15 minute drive of each other, and spectacular sights to see after 10-15 minutes of casual hiking. With a bit of ambition and GPS navigation, it’s very possible to explore the falls in a single day.

The Adirondack region is a crazy quilt of patches of public lands called the Forest Preserve that are interspersed with private lands. The Forest Preserve tracts are all very different, each one unique. Those in the southern Adirondacks are full of many special places for those who want a quiet walk through the woods to contemplate the wonders of nature. Sure there are a lot of walks with mountain views and a few waterfalls with marked trails, and there are even more wonderful destinations with no trails at all.

On August 27, a Men’s Fitness post by Joseph Arango detailed why you should head to the woods. Besides the obvious opportunity to unwind in a natural setting away from congested streets, the twists and turns of trail running help develop quicker reactions, split-second balance and stronger muscles. Forget Sudoku. There is no drifting off here, with the minute-to-minute adjustments needed to keep your body upright, your brain will be working just as hard as your feet. Four months out from back surgery, I have confirmed that a cautious month on hard pavement is no substitute for the soft dirt of trails, and that judicious up and down motion is kinder overall.

Both the Mohawk Towpath Byway Duathlon and the Saranac Lake Backcountry 3P are considered multisport races meaning they offer at least two different sports – it’s not ALL about triathlons!

Of the many peaks around the periphery of the High Peaks, few have as lovely a view as Rooster Comb, our featured hike. Three other hikes with views of the High Peaks are briefly mentioned: Vanderwhacker Mountain, Goodnow Mountain, and Mount Van Hoevenberg. They range in length but are suitable for hikers of any age or ability level, including children.

Lemanski, MD, MS, FACP In the first 122 installments of the Non-Medicated Life, a healthy diet and lifestyle have been shown to accomplish naturally for the majority of individuals most of the benefits of medications in the prevention of the chronic medical conditions mentioned above. With respect to a healthy diet the Mediterranean diet is widely regarded in medical and nutrition circles as one of the healthiest. This diet is still eaten in many parts of the countries bordering the Mediterranean sea, but a recent influx of the “standard American diet” has diluted many of its benefits. Moreover, Mediterranean restaurants in the U.S. many times do not strictly adhere to the diet’s original tenets. In this article I would like to more completely define the Mediterranean diet, describe its most beneficial aspects, and suggest how the diet works to so impressively improve health.

Thus we have inherited today a region full of features named Potash Mountain, Soda Range, Coal Dirt Hill, Spruce Mill Brook, Big Slash Mountain, and Limekiln Mountain. These were not places for adventure or romantic contemplation of the sublime, but places where commodities were to be exploited. This historical ambivalence perhaps explains the current scenario, in which only a patch of wilderness remains preserved – almost all of it in the highest reaches of the range.

Protein? Check. Carb-loading before the big race? Nailed it. Fat’s back on the menu and you’ve made peace with it. But here’s the plot twist: while the wellness world has been obsessing over the big three macros, you might be completely ignoring the micronutrients doing the heavy lifting. While we’ve all been consumed by macromania, those sneaky little vitamins, minerals, and compounds have been quietly running the show. The gap between aging well and just getting by isn’t hiding in your basic multivitamin. Time to level up and feed your body what it’s actually craving to feel your best.

Growing up on 149th Street with the rumble of the 4 train outside her bedroom window the constant hum of New York energy shaped her spirit. “I think growing up in the Bronx when I did made me tougher,” she reflects. “When people looked down on you for not being from Manhattan, it just made me want to work harder.” READ MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592dfa8e4b08369d0200646/537bafa3-41da-45ce-aba7-730ca1287745/2025-10-biking-08-1500px.jpg 2025-10-gallery - BIKING Great Upstate By Dave Kraus In a world that seems increasingly chaotic and unpredictable, there’s one thing that remains dependably true: Upstate New York is a great place to ride a bicycle!

Back then, we were wearing a Sony Walkman to pump music into our ears, and fueling options were limited to a chewy, grainy PowerBar – the original energy bar. Straight sugar was our friend as we downed peach-flavored chewy candies, Swedish Fish, and anything else portable and packed with sugar. Hardly anyone carried water. If you were resourceful, you stashed a jug along the route or ducked into Stewart’s Shops if you were lucky enough to pass one. Ah, to be young.

It was an effort to both learn how to utilize a camera but also an exercise in attempting to help focus on something other than his grief. Only two months prior, his wife Tracy, whom he’d been with since they were juniors in high school, died from stage 4 cancer.

The classic wood frame snowshoes we still see today that developed were great for covering flat distances and distributing the wearer’s weight evenly over deep snow. I know, I own a vintage pair crafted by Havlick Snowshoes, formerly of Mayfield. With no crampons to grip the snow, climbing even with poles, is tricky and laborious, and undertaking narrow trails, impossible. Still, at times I feel like an owl, silently gliding over the landscape. When snowfall is deep, they are marvelous for tramping snow into a workable pattern for our current narrower, aluminum frame models.

While running on the roads is always an option, the odds of slipping on ice are high. Nevertheless, I blissfully ignored these odds until a friend I was running next to slipped and fell. He broke his ankle. But what really made me give snowshoeing a try was the fact that I’m in control. The day I got chased off the road by a skidding car was a game changer. I was lucky that time but figured the odds would not be forever in my favor.

By Paul Miles At some point in our lives, everyone likes to go to the park. Swing sets, slides, hanging ladders and anything that spins… it’s all there. Yet at the same time it’s a place that brings a little more risk for injury than sunning at the beach or watching a sunset from the front porch. Which brings the magic question: Can I enjoy a terrain park at the mountain or, for so many parents, how can I safely bring the kids there without ending the day with a complimentary trip to the hospital?

Her father, James, a former bobsledder with the US Air Force, introduced her to the sport by bringing her to their practice, then they started showing up to get extra runs in – even when there wasn’t group training. By the following winter, at the age of eight, she was practicing on ice.

In reality though, any jumper would happily share with you the best spot to shred or the very humble makeup of their rig. That’s what’s special about the sport – it’s scrappy, homespun, and community-driven.

McFadden Don Applyrs, Ed.D. grew up playing baseball and remained physically active in his adult life, given his interest in health and wellness.

After he spent almost three years working on and successfully defending his doctoral dissertation in 2018, he decided he needed a new challenge.

Some of the recommendations in the pyramid would seem to contradict our recommendations and the recommendations of previous editions of the guidelines.

McFadden In 2021, nine-year-old Lilly Hanna, member of an avid mountain biking family, decided to try cyclocross. She entered the Nomad CX race in Scotia and was hooked. “I loved it,” Lilly said. Later that year, she watched her friend Lilliana O’Donnell of Delmar win the Junior 11-12 national champion title. Lilly took away the idea that winning the national championship herself was a dream she could make a reality. “I thought, I want to do that. I want to be the national champion. That is actually possible.” READ MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592dfa8e4b08369d0200646/44d8e49b-3a16-4a93-a4fe-8b365d6c5a76/2026-06-hiking-01-green-1500px.jpg 2026-06-gallery - HIKING Nun-da-ga-o Ridge – An Outstanding Hike By Bill Ingersoll Maps of the Hurricane Mountain Wilderness tell an unfortunate story: that these mountains were once not viewed in terms of their wildness, but in terms of the resources that people hoped might be extracted from them. Thus today we have inherited a region full of features named Potash Mountain, Soda Range, Coal Dirt Hill, Spruce Mill Brook, Big Slash Mountain, and Limekiln Mountain. These were not places for adventure or romantic contemplation of the sublime, but places where commodities were to be exploited. This historical ambivalence perhaps explains the current scenario, in which only a patch of wilderness remains preserved – almost all of it in the highest reaches of the range.

In recent years, wake sports such as wakesurfing and wakeboarding have surged in popularity, bringing specialized motorboats called wake boats onto the scene. Some lake-goers say that these new boats enhance their lake activities by creating bigger wakes to ride. For many, however, wake boats are a cause for concern. Lake communities around the country are pushing for regulations on where wake sports may occur in an interest of protecting fragile ecosystems and recreation. On June 11, 2026, the state of Vermont tightened existing rules regarding wake boats and wake sports on their inland lakes. In New York, environmental groups are currently working to understand the concerns of lake communities and organize ways to educate the public on the effects of enhanced wakes.

When he moved to further north in 2013 to attend SUNY Adirondack in Queensbury, Zach noticed how few purpose-built mountain bike trails existed in the area. Here he was living in the foothills of the Adirondack Park and most places to mountain bike were old logging roads and hiking trails. In 2014 this all started to change when the Town of Queensbury committed to building singletrack trails at Gurney Lane Recreation Area – this was the same year that Zach happened to start an internship at trail builder Wilderness Property Management.
