More about me

Before I was doing AR, I was... 

 doing a bit a running, mountain biking, road biking, climbing and generally just loving doing anything that gets me outside! Currently play ice hockey and am on the Velo girls Mtb race team.  

Why I adventure race? 
Adventure races are essentially  an outdoor playground, who wouldn't love them.  I enjoy the camaraderie of the team while together challenging yourselves to do things you would not otherwise do.  

Best mountain bike location?
Umpqua River, OR!!  Locally Skeggs.
My favorite trail for running?
Rancho San Antonio park, close by home.
Favorite food when I am racing?

Whatever appeals to the taste buds at that time so the calories get in.
What's in my water bottle during races? 

Gatorade endurance, Gu O2  or really whatever
