I run to challenge myself. My greatest moments of running come when I’m competing for Team USA and bringing the best out of my teammates while we compete for our country.
My favorite trail to run is Lion’s Lair in Boulder, Colorado. It’s a smooth, single track climb going up to the summit of Mt. Sanitas, elevation 6863 ft. Our training group meets here frequently for trail workouts.
I want to represent the voice of athletes in professional trail running.
