My Mini Bio
I was born and raised in Southern Africa, and have been running since I was 6 years old. I ran in high school and then NCAA I Track & Field and Cross Country. I am Level I Certified in Crossfit and a USA Track and Field Level I Certified Coach. I have trained and raced on 4 continents and traveled to run in over 20 countries. I qualified to run the Boston and then will be training for the Comrades in South Africa in 2014. I train everyday at least once, sometimes 3 times. I run 5 days a week, and practice yoga two to three times a week. An off/rest day for me consists of a 60 minute Power Yoga class and a 30-40 minute walk on the trails. I live for fitness and for finding new limits to my body.
Race Results
placing 1st at Twisted Ankle Trail Half Marathon and
14th place at the San Diego Rock n Roll Half Marathon.
I first started racing because...
it was mandatory at Usutu Forrest Primary School in Swaziland, then I fell in love with running...not only was it a form of transportation, but it made me a fantastic Mid-fielder for my soccer games and Cross Country Meets.
I race competitively today because...
I always want to run faster, run harder and be the absolute fittest I have ever been before I reach 40 years of age.
The achievements I am most proud of are...
placing 1st at Twisted Ankle Trail Half Marathon and
14th place at the San Diego Rock n Roll Half Marathon.
Training Tip for My Fans
1.) Run and ride with slower athletes to ensure you get your easy/rest days accomplished.
2.) Stretch, stretch and stretch some more...oh yeah! Join a yoga studio, after age 30 our flexibility goes out the window!
3.) Ensure you are getting your sleep, without sleep you can't recover and without recovery you can't improve!
