I am professional triathlete from the east coast who never, never, never gave up even when all of the chips were down...  I have been racing professionally for 7 years.  I am a wife, a friend, a sister, a daughter, and dog lover.  In my spare time, I practice real estate in Boulder, Colorado where I live for seven months of the year.  I live in Austin, TX for 5 months of the year so I can train hard during the winter months. I believe in being a genuine person and I believe in Karma.

How Do You Relax: 
Recovering in my Norma Tech MVP Boots with a good book. I really like to "veg" in front of the TV as well.
How Do You Prepare For An Event: 
Leading up to a big event, I get some big miles, lots of intensity, and tons of volume. In the few days before the event, I try to relax as much as possible. I try to sleep as much as possible, and I try to eat as much as possible.

Where Do You See Yourself In Ten Years: 
I used to try to plan out where I would like to see myself in 5 years... in 10 years... After a while I realized that I wasn't living for myself. Now I like to savor every day and live every day as it is the last day that I have left on earth.
