I feel blessed that I have the ability to race and train around the world for my career. Not only do I love racing, but I embrace the healthy and active lifestyle. I enjoy visiting my family in Missouri and Minnesota, especially during the off season. After a hard day of training I park myself on the sofa and enjoy many reality TV shows. My goal is to qualify for the 2012 Olympics in London and bring back some hardware!
