2022 Recap

My personal annual report for 2022 is organized in the following sections:

Year in review
Goals results
Inspiration

I broke out my 2022 Media Diet and Books I read in 2022 into separate articles.

Similar to designing a healthy nutrition plan, it’s important to take control of the content you consume. Every year I revisit my media consumption strategy and take stock of the regulars in my rotation. For comparison, here are my Media Diets from 2021, 2020, and 2019.

Books I read in 2022

This post lists out the books I read in 2022, arranged in chronological order of when they were read. Each section includes some of my favorite excerpts from each book (distinguished in grey), along with any additional commentary or notes I’d like to share with you.

Crested Butte Ultra 50-miler

I’ve been chasing a 50-miler since 2016 and it felt great to finally slay this dragon at the Crested Butte Ultra on October 1, 2022.

I finished the 50 miles, which featured 8,300 ft of elevation gain, in 13:51:07 and placed 51st out of the 61 runners who finished the race. By my count there were about 111 runners registered for the 50-miler, which means about 50 runners did not finish.

It was a long, brutal, beautiful day – highlighted by a nasty storm that ripped through the course in the early afternoon – and the craziest race I’ve done to date. I was just thankful to finish the race in one piece before the cutoff time at 9pm; I finished at about 7:50pm.
