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)

Summer at Unity

Maine.... If you know anything about it, you know that its slogan is Vacationland. There is a good reason for this - it’s perfect in the summer!

The trees are in full blossom, the flowers are all in bloom, birds are chirping and it’s usually in the mid 70′s. The rocky Atlantic coast is about 30 minutes away and you can get to the mountains in about an hour and a half. 

So, where better to spend your summer than at Unity College? Unity College is offering many summer programs this year for youth through college. Check out our website at summer.unity.edu to find out more information and find a program that might be of interest to you or someone that you know.

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!
