I spend most of my time on the road. To help my readers understand what that is like, I tried to take a picture of each bed I slept in this year. It is hard to keep track of all the placed I've been, so I referred to my US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) log online. As a member of the national team, I have to tell USADA where I am at all times so they can find me for random drug testing. According to my USADA log, I spent 126 days at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, NY between April 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016. Otherwise, I was on the road, sleeping in more than 40 different places!
