I started getting into fitness when I lived in Europe as a way to stay in shape which mostly consisted of running. I moved to Colorado and fell in love with trail running and mountain biking which became my obsession. I was talked into competing in my first pool triathlon when I was 27 years old and I didnt love it. Running and mountain biking were my focus. After many many many years, I gave triathlon one more try and competed in the Tri by the Bay where I fell in love with the sport, and the people. Ever since I have been hooked and hope to compete in my first Ironman 140.6 in 2019. I have met so many incredible people and made great friendships through this sport.
