What You Listen to On a Long Run: I don’t really listen to music while I run.. well, maybe on the treadmill. Then, it’s Pandora’s 90’s Hip Hop Radio! 🙂

Race Performances You Are Most Proud of: Silvermine 25k.. did it on my birthday that year with no expectations and had an amazing negative split.

Something That Makes You Unique:  I did triathlons for 18 years, stopping in 2018. It all started when I was a 20-year-old, on a college road trip to Mexico with my CU Boulder friends. Ocean swim-wore just a bathing suit for the whole thing. Hot temps-didn’t drink anything on the bike because I was scared to let go of my handlebars! Beach run and exposed streets- I made my way to the finish line party somehow. I had no idea what I was doing, but I loved it and was hooked.
