Mike and Corey head to Vail Colorado to the GoPro mountain games!
It’s been almost 3 years since since Corey Reed competed in his first GoPro Mountain Games in Vail, Colorado.  As one of three Lycored Wellness Ambassadors we set out to help fellow outdoor adventure and mountain athletes and spectators rediscover their inner being by participating in our afternoon Blindfold Family Fitness Challenges and morning Blindfold Fitness Workouts and writing a Letter of Love to themself. In a few weeks hundreds of athletes, including myself, will gather in the Rocky Mountains, anxious and excited for the return of the GoPro Mountain Games after not being able to compete in-person last year due to the pandemic.  Please join me in saluting these athletes with a Note of Nourishment – your words of love, kindness, encouragement and inspiration to fuel them from the inside to unleash their inner adventurer and beauty to glow and shine as they compete to be the best version of themselves. My friends at Lycored will print and hand-deliver your note to a GoPro Mountain Games athlete upon their check-in.  Please take a quick minute to visit lycored.com/rethink-beautiful/ to write and submit your note.
