As I was driving over Loop Road to avoid traffic on the Parkway, an idea came to my mind to rank all the place I’ve lived.
When I got home I made my list and ranked the best places I’ve lived. As you can see there is a bit of a pattern of living in places where training opportunities are good. I’ve also searched for photos to accompany these best places.

I’ve decided not to rank Gatlinburg since I’ve only been here three months.
Concord NH: The city trail systems was one mile from my house. The perfect place to get some vert hiking, trail running and mountain biking. Average Rank: 9.
Hot Sulphur Springs, CO. While I only lived in the town for 6 months, the trails and mountains were very close.
In Tucson, the Friend Factor was high. Making a life-long friend in this hot place was special. Training, specifically winter training, 10.
Granby, Training Factor is high here with Rocky Mountain National Park close to home.
Friend Factor is High for HSS and Granby. My BFF George.
Steamboat Springs, CO. Training Mecca 10. This is where I became a triathlete, trail runner and mountain biker. This is me and my first dog, Abbey at Fish Creek Fall – our go-to everyday hike or snowshoe.
