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.

Annual Work Indoor Triathlon: 31:09

2 mile run - 13:49.....0.5mi x (8.0, 8.5, 9.0, 9.7mph)
1 mile elliptical - 7:08
4 mile upright bike - 9:45

I had 100% decided to do this easy and just participate for fun. And I started off well....but then I got competitive (shocker, I know). I gradually picked up the pace on the run then went hard on the elliptical and the upright bike. I had no pain during the triathlon and only the usual minor discomfort in my groin afterwards. It was a great workout - first time I've had to push myself in a while :) 

PM - 2.3 miles, 8:00 pace. PT: 20 minutes general.

Did you beat all the boys :)

Nope, 1st girl though! Good enough for me...the guys that beat me actually practiced on ideal resistance/cadence. Took it way too seriously!

Nice victory, I wouldn't have ever guessed that you're the competitive type ;)

Nicely done! Sounds like fun.

Good effort. It's very hard not to race a little :-)
