Erik in Alaska 2022

     2022 was a good year in Juneau, Alaska. Still working at the DIPAC Macaulay Salmon Hatchery, opening back up for tourism this summer. With a great salmon return this summer my department (Tourism & Education) was set aside a fund to begin designing and updating our aquariums and displays in the visitor center. I was able to use this as an excuse to learn some 3D modeling. Looking forward to participating in the process. 




    Probably the biggest highlight for 2022 was participating in an Ironman Triathlon, the first to come to Alaska. Trained for a year to Swim 2.4 miles, Bike 112, and run 26.2 in under 17 hours. The swim was cut in half due to water temperature (59degrees). But I finished at 15 hours and 26 minutes. 









Looking forward to 2023 and reaching my third decade! Love to you all!
