DISCIPLINE:
ABOUT:
I live in Golden BC where there is a huge focus on downhill sports. Downhill MTB, alpine skiing, even paragliding are all pretty common but what motivates me to go out into the mountains everyday is to go uphill! Running above the treeline, climbing on quartzite crags, and ski touring (I take the downhills very gingerly) are all just a way to get up in the mountains to make everyday an adventure.
PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
1. Completing my first 100km ultra in goal time at the Sulphur Springs Trail Race in May 2024.2. Volunteering at various 5 Peaks events with La Sportiva to be with the community was a highlight.
3. Volunteering at the Divide 200 by Sinister Sports was another highlight as it is probably the toughest 200mile race in North America September 2024.
4. Moving to Golden BC in September 2024.
5. Adopting our dog Bugaboo December 2023. Now that we finally live in Golden we have to take him out to the bugs.

RESTING HEART RATE:
Low enough to run far yet high enough to have anxiety...
