OFFICER POSITION: President

HOMETOWN: South Jordan

FAMILY: Married to Mark; 2 daughters, Shayla and Ashlyn. We like to do outdoor activities together. Both girls have done kids triathlons. Shayla has done 2; Ashlyn has done 6 and wants to try bike racing.

OCCUPATION: Accountant

AVERAGE WEEKLY TRAINING: 6-9 hours. 3-4 runs; 1 or 2 swims; 2 bike rides.

FAVORITE WORKOUT(S): Running up City Creek Canyon from the capital - I love the feeling of accomplishment when I beat the hills; Swimming a ladder (50, 100, 150, 200, 150, 100, 50) on one-minute intervals; Cycling flat and fast on the frontage road to Saltaire.

FAVORITE/MEMORABLE RACE(S): Most memorable = Estes Park Tri - I was headed to a family reunion and I left my bike home. But the park was putting on a free offroad tri, so I rented a bike and entered. A bunch of people showed up with road bikes, so the race was delayed while the RD brought in a bunch of Mtn bikes. The course was really poorly marked and everyone was going every which way. I was the first racer to actually cross the finish line from the right direction:-) Despite the chaos, everyone seemed to have a blast It was a great reminder that tri's are really about fun.

CURRENT TRIATHLON GOAL(S): Improve my short course speed. Stay accident/injury free. Do at least one tri in a new state.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO COMPETE AND TRAIN: I love feeling fit. I am in better shape now than when I was a teenager. i really enjoy competing and sizing myself up against others, but my goals generally center on seeing just how much I can push myself. I love a new PR.
