Traipse Reports – Trips and Races

International Travel and Running Race Reports, with bad puns and a lot of alliteration

Traipse Reports

Traipse Reports is a compilation of trip reports and race reports. I thought it sounded better than Tripe Reports, and Rape Reports would be even worse. So traipse it is.

Author: BA Badwriter

I run. I travel. Sometimes I write about the experiences. I don't run particularly well. I travel worse, especially when I travel with my wife. But when I write about it, I aim to entertain. Not that I write much better, but you get what you pay for. The price is right.
