This story was a pitch to @downeastmagazine that I had been wanting to work on for a while now. I was so pleased to be able to have the opportunity to photograph this story. These portraits were something I thought of the night before the shoot. I wanted to make some portraits of team members after a full practice, sweaty, and covered in sawdust. I am grateful these competitors we game for this! Also a huge shoutout to @claytonsimoncic for some serious assisting on this one! We’ve never had to move so many lights so quickly! . . . #woodsmen #woodswomen #collegiatewoodsmen #unitycollege #axes #chainsaw #handcut @stihl #stihl #chopping #talent #lumberjack #studentathletes #crosscut #firebuild #poleclimb #logging #realstihlgirls #firewood #intensecompetition #competition #woodsmencompetition (at Unity College) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqum4PuHIz-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=snqv9jrs92pr

If you’ve never experienced a woodsmen competition here’s a little info about each of these images. 1 - The cross cut, a classic event in which teammates aim for the fastest cut through a log. This requires an unbelievable amount coordination, strength and concentration. 2 - A team of two is given three matches and single dry cedar log. Using hatchets they work quickly splitting and building up a fire. A can of water with dish soap in it is brought to a boil and the time stops when the soap bubbles over. Here teammates take turns turns blowing oxygen into the fire. 3- These spikes are used in the pole climb. An event in which a climber ascends a free standing pole with these spikes while holding a rope wrapped around the pole. The goal is fastest to the top. @Unitycollege Woodsman team, shot on assignment for @downeastmagazine . . . #woodsmen #woodswomen #collegiatewoodsmen #unitycollege #axes #chainsaw #handcut @stihl #stihl #chopping #talent #studentathletes #crosscut #firebuild #poleclimb #logging #firewood #intensecompetition #competition #woodsmencompetition (at Unity College) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqrv95LnLxG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ok408fw29tbm

With the 46-mile Ultra Run just a few days away I have been thinking a lot about nutrition: what to eat the day before and during the event. My favorite protein source is eggs and I love to pair that with vegetables as you can see here. With a generous 2 tsp of turmeric, my joints will benefit from its inherent anti-inflammatory property. The day before the event, I will consume my favorite carbohydrate: the sweet potato 🍠 If you haven't already, check out my blog for my sweet potato recipe - it's out of control yummy! As the day before winds down, so will my food intake; I want a relatively clean digestive track for the big day. On the morning of the Ultra I will wake up three hours before the event to eat a big sweet potato breakfast, go back to sleep and allow for digestion to kick in. The idea is to be ready to run 🏃 for at least 10 miles without the need to eat. Every hour afterward, I will consume a couple medjool dates and a banana. My support team will have more sweet potato mash and vegetable purée bone broth soup on hand when I really need an extra boost. Thanks @cheffrankyg for your #tipsofthetrade See you at the finish line around 5-6 pm or 3 Tides after. #nutrition #ultramarathonfood #healthcoach #ryanhoweshealth #waldocountytrailscoalition #hillstoseatrail #maine #unitycollege #unitycollegealumni #belfastmaine #northernvertical #exercise #training (at Belfast, Maine)

Earth Day is always a big deal here at Unity College. My roommate, Amanda, celebrated the right way by cuddling one of the baby rabbits from the Unity College Barn!
