Sadly…
…I haven't figured out how to upload photos via my iPAQ, so you'll have to use your imagination:
I spent most of yesterday naked (yes, really), in the crater of a 10,000ft volcano, being photographed for Nike ACG's spring 2005 ad campaign. The stripping off bit was easier than I anticipated (despite the onlooking production crew and passing throngs of pony trekkers) but it certainly ranks as one of the most surreal days of my life. Highlights included having foundation applied to my bum, and stepping out of a white Ritz Carlton towelling robe at 10,000ft. And no, the wind chill wasn't particularly flattering…
Maui is heavenly – part of me is dreading having to fly home tomorrow night, but part of me also knows that I have a heck of a lot to do in the next few weeks…
It was cool talking to Petra Bernhard (a champion downhill mountain biker and fellow Nike athlete) – she too has spent several years chasing a crazy dream and only now is she making a living doing what she loves. I'm still pinching myself – it feels like I've been pushing a boulder up a mountain for four years and only now is it tipping over the summit. For the next few weeks, I'll be running after it as it rumbles down the far side, trying to keep it on course…
