HOW 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 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.
RECENT ACHIEVEMENT: 70.3 Pucon WINNER
FAVORITE QUOTE: NEVER NEVER NEVER give up! By Winston Churchill
WHAT'S IN YOUR TRANSITION
BAG YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT:		 My Milky Way Candy Bar :o)
WHERE YOU SEE
YOURSELF IN 10 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.  I was too busy making goals and following what my peers and society thought I should be doing.  However, now I like to savor every day and live every day as it is the last day that I have left on earth.

ABOUT “YOU”

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.
