Sports: Running (Cross-country, marathons, track and field)

Athletic Goals: Changing focus from marathon and half marathons to track and 5k road races (low 18's)

My most catastrophic racing experience was: Ottawa Marathon 2009, I lost two of my gels and the weather was 25 degrees which was alot warmer then what i was use to training in! The last 10km was brutal!

My most memorable racing experience was: My first cross-country Ofsaa in Grade 9, it was the biggest race i had ever ran and i was terrified! But it was an amazing experience running with people from all over ontario and the crowd was very supportive!

Favourite Racing Gear: For mileage i love the Brooks Ravenna 3, the weight is 9.1 ounces for women and it is under the guidance category (stable cushion) great for my longer runs when i tend to over-pronate a bit. Brooks DNA cushioning responds to the amount of force you place on it. For trails the Brooks Cascadia 7 For intervals Aasics Gel Blur 33 CWX protight amazing compression

Favourite Race: Disney Marathon

Favourite Race Food: Gu Chocolate Outrage and Vanilla Bean Stinger Gels ("Gold") Stinger Chews ("Pink Lemonade") Stinger Protein Bar ("Peanut Butta") -tastes exactly like Reese peanut butter cups!
