Running Accomplishments
Black Hills and Superior Trail Fall Classic 100 Milers – running and finishing a 100 mile race is simply amazing. There are no words for all the emotions and feelings that happen during a 100.
Grand Canyon 50 Miler – This race was in May and the day before the race, the Grand Canyon was hit with a huge blizzard. We camped in the snow. They had to change the course because the roads were too icy and snowy. We started the race running in knee deep snow and ended the race with rivers of mud. It was super crazy and amazing and I ended up winning the race, my first ultra win!
Favorite Part About Being a Runner
Getting to explore trails, old and new. Freedom – just me and the elements. Simplicity of running – just get out and go.
Best Races
Flight of Fire 1/2 Marathon – I love running through Red Rock Canyon, it never gets old! It’s a challenging yet super doable course.
