What does running mean to me:
Adventure! Friendships! freedom.
Running accomplishments:
Pinhoti 100 finisher. Zion 100 finisher. Numerous other races.
What I like about trail/mountain running:
The adventure. The scenery! The people. Seeing views I’d never get to see otherwise.
Favorite running trail and why:
Kind of impossible to say in reality. I’ll go Bluffline trail, at least the first section, on Monte Sano in Huntsville Alabama. (Hometown). Very technical but still runnable downhill section. Not for people who don’t downhill well but when I’m on point and hit it right it’s amazing and everything I love about trail running.
Favorite trail/mountain race and why:
I’ll go with Grand Viduta Stage Race in Huntsville Alabama. Not very long or super hard but so much fun. We joke that it’s our summer camp. Such a fun weekend.
Best running experience:
Finishing Pinhoti 100 in 2016. Had had a bad experience at Zion early in the year but got to do this race with an amazing group of friends as my crew and pacers along with seeing numerous other friends eith running the race crewing for others or working aid stations.
Worst running experience:
Zion 100. Even though it counts as a finish, it was a bad experience.
Neatest thing found on a run:
Not sure I have a good story for this. Saw a kids spider man costume hanging in a tree in the woods, just after Halloween this year. That was weird
Running related bathroom stop story:
Yep. Probably no good G rated ones.
Running pet peeves:
People who run with music but not headphones/earbuds.
Something non running related that no one would guess about me:
?? Not really sure.
That I’m a vegetarian maybe.
Other hobbies and interests:
Other than endurance sport related. I really like to cook.
Other stuff:
Will be brand new to Colorado. Moving from Alabama. Goal race. Vermont 100. Book- Once a Runner. Yep I like food! Am a vegetarian.
