Ultra Running - I have been competing in Ultra running and trail running events since 2012, but have been a runner since middle school. I have ran and completed over ten 100 mile trail races, as well as countless other ultra races and events of various distances. At 43, I am still highly competitive, and still work hard to maintain a level of ability that consistently keeps me in top tens and podium positions. This summer I will be competing in the Leadville 100, before I step back from organized races and focus on more personal goals, such as completing the Rim 2 Rim 2 Rim solo across the Grand Canyon.

Biking - In the past year or two, I have become more interested in biking, particularly gravel and bike packing. Last summer I completed the DAMn (Day Across Minnesota), a 240 mile gravel ride across the state in 24 hours or less. I have been increasing my knowledge of bikes, gear, and maintenance, and have a new Trek Checkpoint 7 ordered for delivery next summer, where I hope to increase this new hobby in to some long routes and bike packing trips.

Alpine skiing - It's been a while, but growing up in Alexandria MN I had an annual ski pass to Andes Tower Hills, and was really in to downhill skiing. Fitz Harris was my shop growing up where I'd come for gear! In full disclosure, I am very out of touch with what's current, but it would be fun and exciting to step back in to that scene.
