Your favorite triathlon?
Honestly, anything I successfully get through feeling accomplished is a favorite of mine and if they have good post race snacks 🙂
Meal the night before race?
Not much of a cooker but I’ll do some kind of carb/protein dish to get me feeling right, nothing to write home about though.
Pre-Race Meal?
If I wake up early enough oatmeal, if not apple with peanut
butter toast and I don’t care about diuretics I MUST have morning coffee race or no race!!!
Race Nutrition?
Currently exploring. I’ve used Gu, gummies, and those waffle things but exploring some homemade race nutrition options.
Favorite motivational training song?
I don’t care what it is as long as it has a pumped up beat.
Favorite mantra?
Girl, the lady with a stroller is lapping you, LETS GO!!!!!
Key Workout?
Yeah, I’m a little erratic with workouts BUT I just started working with Matt Clancy at E3 (super awesome) and he is definitely helping me find structure
Best Triathlon training or racing tip?
Check, recheck, and then check your bag again to make sure you have everything for race day!
Triathlon literature or other sources of information?
Definitely TTT family, if they don’t have the answer they know who does.
Who inspires you?
All the amazing athletes at TTT I’m trying to keep up with.
Future goal or bucket list race?
70.3 Wilmington, NC hopefully 2022 and an abroad race that I haven’t quite put a pulse on yet, but if you’ve got one in mind hit me up, I’m game!!!
