I've been racing Triathlon since 2007. I was hooked after my first race and wanted to make it my lifestyle. I began training and saw results. I got better and better. When I qualified for the 2012 National Triathlon Championships I need help financially. I had been working with my coach-Steve and my friend Regina had been managing all the other stuff.  I asked friends and family for support. I also approached local businesses for their help exchanging adversiting for them on my race suit. I needed a name for myself so I came up with Team Skidmore. I finished 5th in my age group at Nationals which qualified me to compete in the World Tri Championships in London, England. I had to go. So Team Skidmore and I raised $9,000 over the summer of 2013. I continure to train everyday and love racing!
