Personal:

I am originally from Knoxville, TN and moved to SLC with Jake in 2010. I started racing in 2011 and had some great success before a major injury hit me in July 2012. I had athletic pubalgia surgery in May 2013...then again in Sept 2014 and am still trying to get back to my old self. Although running is my true passion, I love doing pretty much anything active outdoors - backcountry skiing, backpacking, biking, etc.

I've been running for the Saucony Team since 2011. I enjoy representing the brand and really do believe they make the best shoes :)

I work as a Quality Engineer for BD Medical in Sandy.

Total Distance

2.00

AM - Went out and ran with Jake on his cooldown, 2 miles. Then yoga for 30 minutes.

PM - Corporate Games Mountain Bike Race. I was in the Intermediate group (only to maximize points) so I did 2 laps on a 1 mile loop. I was a little disappointed in how short the race was... would've preferred more like 10 laps. But I still had a good time. I came in 2nd for the girls :) Mountain biking is one of those things that I would rather do for fun and not race!

Yay for a couple of miles! Good luck at your race this afternoon. I hear that bike races have really good food. :)

Your profile pic could be an advert for so many things; shampoo, fitness gear, shoes, vertical leap training program, southern Utah...

Just add it to the resume..."Mountain Biking." Is there anything you don't do?
