About Me: One obstacle course race snowballed into a whole world of trail running, mountain biking, adventure racing, and getting lost in the woods. I love challenging obstacles, running down mountains, baking, and petting large fluffy dogs.

Sports: Trail Running, Mountain Biking, Australian Rules Football, Obstacle Course Racing, Crossfit

My most catastrophic racing experience was: At kilometer 22 of 27 in a Spartan Beast my right IT band decided to let me know it existed.

Favourite Racing Gear: My triathlon shorts, my running hat, and my new Osprey bag!

Favourite Race Food: Anything involving chocolate chips! I make these "cookies" that are basically oats and banana, with non-optional chocolate chips and optional flavourings (vanilla, cinnamon, cranberries, etc), and they are great for training. ...when they last long enough to make it to a training session. Otherwise, Skratch electrolytes and Cliff shotbloks go down really well.
