I go hard, I don't believe in limits, as I find them limiting. I have had my femur cut in half (3.5 months not walking) July 2016, and my abdominals’ cut in half prior to that. 2019 was my 1st year back racing in 5 years, 2020 pandemic, and 2021 had my best year racing ever, taking my age group at USAT nationals. This really was validating that all the rehab, hard work, and ups and downs, were worth it. In saying this, it is definitely about the journal, the people you meet along the way, and this is why I don't give up.

How do I pay for Triathlons, I'm an accountant. I work with early-stage tech companies as their outsourced CFO before they need a full time in house CFO.

I am Australian and moved to San Francisco where I lived for 5 years, before moving to Denver, and part time in a small town in North Dakota where my husband’s business/ farming is.
Third year on the team, and really have loved every year, and honored to be repping B70 with all of you.
