Q&A - Competition

How did you get started?

I grew up in a very active family. Before I was even in high school I had two varsity letters in cross country skiing and one in cross country running. I played soccer all growing up and started out college playing for the University of Montana. I realized during m first season that I was ready for something new and I don't remember how I came up with triathlon. I do remember my dad saying "You're going to have to learn to swim," and I replied "Dad! I KNOW how to SWIM!" It turned out I didn't. I got into triathlon at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo when I went there on exchange my sophmore year of college. That team is huge, fun and great for learning how to race triathlons. I made some life long friends that I still race with. In Missoula Team Stampede is our triathlon group and its great. There are so many talented, experienced, fast athletes in Missoula I have unlimited training partners and so many people to teach me the ropes!

List your competitive highlights:

This last summer I raced my first half ironman- The Grand Columbian and I came in 5th overall for women and 1st in my age group. In 2006 I placed 4th at the Wildflower collegiate race and 9th at USAT collegiate Nationals.

What are you planning for next season?

I am really excited for my 2008 race season! I start it off with the most competitive and unpredictable sprint- The Grizzly Triathlon in my home town Missoula, MT. Then I'll do the Wildflower Collegiate race and USAT collegiate nationals. I'm racing Oliver 1/2 iron on June 1st and 3 weeks later Ironman CDA. Later in the summer I'm for sure racing Vineman Ironman 70.3 and a few other races I haven't for sure decided.

What has been your biggest accomplishment?

Right now I have 2 in the works- the Ironman and graduating from College!
