Proudest tri moment After IMAZ my dad called to tell me I was the 20th woman overall.  I told him I thought I was the 20th age grouper, and told me it was all women.  I made him read me the top 3 women before I believed him it was top 20, including pros.

When I'm not working out you can find me...
  • hiking with my dogs
  • driving my Karman Ghia… when it's running
  • working on my Karmin Ghia… when it's not running
  • wine tasting
  • cooking
What I'd do if I won the lottery I'd buy the company I run and then hire someone to run it for me. Train for races and travel to do them.
Bonus Info I didn't want to move to Hawaii. I had lived all over the world before I moved to Hawaii.  Now I never intend to live anywhere else.  I might move to Maui or the Big Island, but I found my roots firmly planted in Hawaii.
