The Woodshed

In July/August, a caption in “Hustle

and Flow” misidentified Entergy Park

in Hot Springs, Arkansas, as the Lake

Ouachita Vista Trail. And in June, our Big

Idea column misstated the unit used by

the EPA to measure unhealthy levels of

pollution-borne particulate matter. The

unit is cubic meters, not cubic liters.

Outside regrets the errors.

Timex stopwatch. “Did not

track speed, distance, or

other data I use today.”

Suunto 9 GPS watch. “It

keeps me accountable and

makes my workouts fun.”

Still Got It

In June, we received an e-mail from triathlete Tim Hola, one of the five finalists from our 2008

“Fittest (Real) Men in America” project. More than ten years later, Hola is still crushing it, winning

national championships and training for the Guinness World Record for fastest combined Ironman

time with his 75-year-old father. But while the results are the same, Hola says his training habits

have evolved somewhat.

Knot to Be

Learning to tie an improved clinch knot is hard. Doing it

without a proper rope seems impossible. But that’s what

editorial fellow Taylor Gee pulled off while researching our

step-by-step guide on page 30. Practicing at his desk, Gee

watched instructional videos on YouTube while following

along with shoelaces. “Initially it was because I didn’t have

any rope,” he says. “But it turns out shoelaces are ideal. They

were easy to untie when I botched the steps.”

recounts his journey

from an upbringing in

academia to life as a

wandering poet and

writer, finally settling

in Santa Fe to run the

Mountain Cloud Zen

Center. Throughout

the book, Shukman

reveals how medita-

tion helped heal

his depression and

anxiety and integrate

a sudden spiritual

awakening into the

fabric of his life. Avail -
