Bruce W. Perry played Division 1 college soccer in New York, then amidst a varied career in journalism and software engineering finished literally (ask my knees!) hundreds of road races and triathlons.
He's since moved on to recreational alpine hiking, skiing, and resistance training. After an unguided youth the 50-something lifts more than he did in high school and climbs with guides now, recently Piz Palu in the Swiss Alps, Mt. Whitney's Mountaineer's Route, and Mt. Rainier.
