Looks like Puerto Rico just suffered another major earthquake this morning. Ugh. If you want to hear a story of resilience, strength, and community in the wake of tragedy, listen to this interview we recorded with Patsy Ramirez-Arroyo last year.
VinePair: After reading this, I’m wanting to learn more about Chicha. Anyone tried Dogfish Head’s version?

What can you do to shave a little time off the clock? Aerodynamics and drafting for runners.
SCMP: Stud MUT runners Ragna Debats and Perre Aurell take their five year old on an epic trek around the world as they run an ultra on every continent. The article mentions they’d run WSER if they win spots, but it looks like luck wasn’t on their side. Any idea what they’re running instead?
Geography: I scanned through this video for a few clicks until I realized that the incredible scenery was in the other Georgia. Beautiful!
First day of track and field for the kids team today. Always fun, nerve wracking, and exhausting.
