The Triathalog, Week 12: T-minus Three Days

After a summer’s worth of battling Harlem Hill on my bike, swimming thousands of meters at the Equinox pool, and running through seemingly endless rain, it’s finally here. With just three days left until the Mighty Hamptons, I’m feeling a certain sense of nervousness but also excitement to get this race started—and finished. But first [...]

Test Run: L’Occitane Do Brasil Sunscreen

 

It may be winter in the Southern Hemisphere, but it felt like high summer on a steamy August afternoon in Buzios, the stunning five-mile-long Brazilian peninsula where I spent a much-needed pre–Fashion Week vacation.
