Born and raised in Marin County, CA. I competed in gymnastics for a number of years to an elite level. Eventually I chose softball as my sport and it is what took me to college. I made the all-region teams every year for both offense and defense. I graduated from Wellesley College near Boston, MA in 2008 with a BA in Medieval History. My senior year I found triathlon and began my racing in spring of 2008. In 2009 I entered a Tuesday Night Twilight Crit in Santa Rosa, CA and was hooked. 2010 was the first year I made bike racing my priority and have loved every minute of it. My strengths lie in my sprint power and jump; although I am working to become a... more »
"I was born and raised (and currently attend school) in Nebraska. Yes...like the pancake flat Nebraska in the middle of the country! We do have a few parking garages and the overpass over I-80 to do hill intervals on, but that's another story. I attend school at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I am a senior mechanical engineering major. Cycling came about 6 years ago with my brother Tim.

When he’s not... more »
A third generation San Franciscan on both sides, raised in the north bay. Worked as a ballroom dance instructor, and at an auto body shop to work my way through college. Didn't own a bike till I was 21, now I have many. Didn't take riding serious until I was put on heart medication. Started riding with people who are stronger and was eventually taken off medication. Being a business owner doesn't allow time for much riding, so when I get out on the weekend I try to get the most out of it. A natural sprinter, with little miles in the legs, I have to race super smart to be able to contest a sprint. Just up graded to a 3, and would like to see how far I can go... more »
