My time in Sochi is something I will never forget. I don’t think I’ve ever worked on a project that was so equally rewarding and exhausting. In 26 days I traveled 11,824 miles by plane. More remarkable is that in the same time I also traveled 1,238 miles by bus. That’s almost exactly the distance between New York and Miami. These Games have been amazing, unforgettable, productive and fun while at times also frustrating, isolating lonely and infuriating.
Through it all, I wrote. I wrote a lot. 26 detailed journal entries, nine blog posts for Style Hi Club, six articles for other publications and I even did one television interview and one radio guest appearance. In case you missed anything, here is the official round up. Can’t wait to do it all again in Rio!
