About
My career as an endurance athlete has not been straightforward. Through injury, setbacks and being told I would never run again, Iâve had to re-think what I consider impossible, as I continued to push myself, believing in my best athletic days ahead.
Early in my career, I earned the nickname âHillygoatâ for my love of the uphill and my ability to run fast on steep, technical mountain terrain â a style of running known as Skyrunning.
In 2017 I had a life threatening accident, where I fell 150 feet off of a ridge-line during a Skyrace in Tromsø, Norway. I broke a total of 14 bones and I was told I would never run again â let alone compete at the elite level. After several years of rehab and recovery, I made a full recovery and returned to elite level racing, running some of my longest and most challenging races post-accident.
I maintain the belief that âyour best athletic days are ahead of you,â if youâre willing to work hard for what you love and never give up on yourself.
