Unbelievable. 6 weeks after a record at Hardrock, Kilian sets the UTMB record. 🤯

[iRunFar @iRunFar]

Kilian Jornet (NNormal) wins the 2022 #UTMB in 19:49:30. His fourth win of UTMB. He breaks the previous course record with Pyramides Calceires (20:19:09, Pau Capell, 2019) and the overall course record without Pyramides (20:11:44, François D’Haene, 2014).

Katie Schide (The North Face) wins the 2022 #UTMB in 23:15:12.

Feels like summer in the Chugach.

Some say you are fluent in a language once you dream in it. If I’m dreaming in #SQL, does that mean I’m a decent programmer now??

[Galen Hecht @galen_hecht]

Allows you search for classes with only a few letters like ApCo for ApplicationController. Very efficient navigation.

[Galen Hecht @galen_hecht]

Ctrl + , search in @VisualStudio is awesome.

@Gabe_NM Congratulations!!

[Galen Hecht @galen_hecht]

Quick life update: I graduated with my BS in Software Development from @wgu. I’m already working as a developer, and very excited to continue learning… maybe with a little more sleep!

Whenever I'm in a river, I'm astounded by how much of the in-stream woody debris has been felled and mobilized by beavers. Dams are awesome, but I don't think we talk enough about how much complexity these inadvertent, beaver-created micro-habitats add to aquatic ecosystems.

#WrongMineWrongTime - Good to see USACE actually make a good decision about #PebbleMine.

Living in #Alaska, I quickly realized the salmon are far more than food. #Salmon are part of people and the land.

We cannot let greed sacrifice that. #NoPebbleMine #StopPebbleMine https://t.co/rcaz4m7Uwh

Even Don Jr opposes #PebbleMine.

@realDonaldTrump tell @EPA to reject the #FEIS and stop Pebble Mine. It’s not worth trashing the largest #salmon fishery in the world for a Canadian mining company.

[Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr]

As a sportsman who has spent plenty of time in the area I agree 100%. The headwaters of Bristol Bay and the surrounding fishery are too unique and fragile to take any chances with. #PebbleMine

Every shadow
Reflects an ocean of light
And so we move through

The 22,000 acre upper watershed of the Santa Fe River is off limits to the public as a measure to protect the water for the people below. This… https://t.co/7xPqTtpolq

Your help is needed to protect #livingrivers! The West has over 3,500 dams, yet new dams are proposed all around the region. Sign this petition to stand up for living rivers, #cleanwater and critical habitat for fish and #wildlife: https://t.co/VNouvMLtSB
