Ski to Sea! It was quite the feeling racing with such a devoted team; getting updates in the morning about how the race was going, then getting the baton and racing my heart out, then sharing race stories at the end!

My favorite moment was at Ironman 70.3 World Championships in Lahti. While out on the run course, I misheard what my coach said in reference to what place I was in. I crossed the finish line with a slow, relaxed jog, completely content finishing 2nd place. All this while my coach ran rapidly around the red carpet SCREAMING at me to pick it up. As it turned out, I did win 1st place but only by 19 seconds. The gal in 2nd was rapidly closing the gap, however I assumed she already won and was okay with that. We were all in total shock when the officials told us the results! This was my second AG World Championship Title and the funniest and most memorable moment of the entire season! 🙂

My favorite moment from 2023 was competing at the 19th Pan-American Games in Santiago Chile. It was my first time competing as a member of a USOPC delegation and it was inspiring to be part of a multi- sport team at that scale. I was lucky enough to win bronze in the MK2 500m and silver in the MK1 1000m.

My favorite moment from 2023 was crossing the Washington 70.3 finish line. After pushing to the finish, I was privileged to be surrounded by my supportive family who made it out to the race that day. Not every girl gets to spend their 18th birthday racing, but I did, and I loved every moment of it.

My favorite snack would have to be a good ole protein bar. If we’re talking pre-workout snacks though, then I would have to go with a banana with chunky peanut butter and honey.
