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.

Started from Rifugio Valsinella and hiked up to Rifugio Casinei, then to Rifugio Brentei, then to Rifugio Alimonta, and finally up the remnants of a glacier to get to the central section of the Via Delle Bocchette (4100ft). We did a portion of this called the Via Ferrata Bocchette Centrali (difficulty 3C). The via ferrata is mostly a traverse with a lot of ladders and ledges. Then we made our way back down to Rifugio Brentei, running the last 10 minutes to barely miss a fast-moving rainstorm. Had some coffee at the rifugio then made our way back down to the start.

AM - Whitewater rafting on the Noce River in Val di Sole. One of the most fun rafting trips I've ever been on with sustained Class III/IV rapids for 4 hours!

PM - Went running at the "Running Park" in Alpe di Siusi - a high plateau in the Dolomites.

AM - Took the tram up to Seceda and hiked from there to Rifugio Cason-Hutte. Fantastic hike with some unreal views. 

PM - Hiked to Cinque Torri (5 miles and 1300ft). Timed it perfectly with the late afternoon light.

AM - Via Ferrata Degli Alpini (difficulty 3B, 1650ft). It was super crowded...probably 20 people waiting to start the route. Once we got going, it was really fun rock scrambling with a few pretty challenging moves (if you didn't use the cable to pull yourself up). 

PM1 - Took the tram up to the top of Lagazuoi then hiked down the mountain through the old WWI tunnels. Lots of war history here, Rob Murphy - if you ever go to Italy, the Falzerego Pass is where you want to go!

PM2 - Hiked to the top of Sass de Stria (1000ft). Tons of WWI trenches all the way up to the top of the mountain, with a cool cross at the top with 360 degree views of the Dolomites.

AM - Ran 5 miles on the Cross Country ski trails in San Cassiano right before a downpour for the rest of the day. We walked around Cortina d'Ampezzo and got some souvenirs but that's about it.

Via Ferratas in Corvara, Italy area. Started with the Via Ferrata Brigata Tridentina (3B difficulty and ~2000ft) - a very fun, very popular route. We got back to the car and decided to make the time for one more before the long drive to Zurich. The second one was Via Ferrata Piz da Lech (Jake's translation: Pizza and Milk, 3B difficulty and ~1250ft). I'm totally addicted!
