The Fun Questions:
Favorite race: 2016 Mountain West Championships in Boise, ID. I had a break-out race at this meet and just had so much fun with my teammates. The course and area were gorgeous, overall a very memorable travel trip.
Favorite workout: 1000m repeats!
Words to live by: “Wherever you are, be all there.”
Why I choose to run for PRT: The supportive, positive, and fun energy that everyone brings to the team makes it easy to train hard and get closer to your goals. I wanted to keep competing in races at a high level after college and was looking for that competitive and close-knit team atmosphere. PRT was just the perfect fit!
What I like to do besides running: Going to local San Diego farmers markets, playing with my pug Kirby, going to stand-up comedy shows with my boyfriend Wyatt, frequenting reformer Pilates classes, and hanging out in Bird Rock with friends!
