My Dearest Tin Brothers,
I am now a great ways from Colorado, although the rolling dirt roads are in my mind constantly. I have found my way to Oregon after many long miles over rough and at times nearly impassible terrain. It is my great fortune that I've enjoyed good health along the journey and the tree-encircled track at Lewis and Clark College filled my lungs with oxygen, even when
#thegrind had them burning. I have been lucky enough to come away with a PR of 3:37 in the 1500m, doing the lion's share of the work. A dark-kitted mustachioed man with long greasy hair was content to sit on me for most of the race before getting the better of me in the end. He looked as if he had just tied a damsel to the railroad tracks prior to stepping to the line. My day will come. Tracklandia is everything that has been written about it. We must come back. I probably shall not have another opportunity to write you before I return home....
