She has now competed in Ironman AZ in '05 and '06, then Hawaii later in '06.
In 2007 she thrived in the shorter races such as Collegiate Nationals, Age Group Nationals, ITU Worlds, Best of the US, and SOMA. As for this year, she will be racing as an elite and sticking to Olympic and Half Ironman distances, with her eyes sent on returning to Kona in a few years. Come hear her talk about what it takes to be the best triathlete possible. Check out her profile at
