By tomorrow, I really meant Thursday…wrong T word. My apologies. Queen’s Day criterium was a training race in my mind, a way I could track where my fitness was and where it was not. I just wanted to gather some data.

I like riding my bike fast, but when I'm not I am a corporate caterer & student. I have a degree in Culinary Management. I love cooking, traveling, and hanging out with all of the awesome people in my life. Mostly, I just like riding my bike, enjoying the outdoors and being healthy. Oh, and I am terrible at telling jokes--I cannot get thru them without laughing. My mom often tells me I am full of middle school humor...there are worse things. :) |

| What‘s your history? | This is my second year racing for Priority Health, and my fourth year racing. Primarily, I stick to the road, but I occasionally dabble into mountain bike racing. Criteriums are definitely my type of race, Tour de Gaslight and Grand Rapids Cycling Classic being my favorite. I started riding as a commuter after graduating high school, and after my first year of college I bought myself a nifty entry-level road bike. From there I was addicted to riding, and started racing a year later, and never looked back… |
| What are 3 adjectives that describe your approach to your sport? | Competitive, Quirky, Energetic |
| What are nutritional tips you use to gain optimum performance? | Before a race I always eat an apple & peanut butter, or a peanut butter & honey sandwich. |
| Give us some inspiration! | Staying fit definitely motivates me to stay active, if I can’t fit in my pants; I’m not a happy lady ☺. (Most days) I am very driven to excel and like to push my limits. This year I had two back-to-back crashes that left me injured and less than confident. Giving up was not an option because after a few days off I just missed riding, it is a stress reliever, an excuse to get outside and a butt-kicking workout. |
| What is your single most important goal this year? | Get tough :) |
| Complete this sentence: The thing I love most about competing is______________________. | pushing my limits, and finding the breaking point. |
