This summer marked a year straight of travel. In the last year - in fact in the last 6 months - I've been on all 7 continents and since I started traveling, I've been to 29+ countries in the past 12-13 months (I'm losing track). I didn't set out to do it, but as it turn out, I accidentally knocked another thing off my impossible list - travel for a year straight.

After 777 finished in Cape Town, I swore I was done for the year. I needed to recover, do some physical therapy and get strong again. Then I found myself running across Liechtenstein and Monaco. I swore I was done after that. Then I heard about Hell on the Hill...and..well...you can probably guess where this is going. Hell on the Hill isn't a race as much as it is a challenge - 100x up (and down) a hill in Jesse Itzler's backyard in ...
