Personal Note: This is my second year with Team Belladium. I am very excited to be apart of this great group of women. I started racing in triathlons after high school. My first coach taught me what hard work means and the saying “to give anything less than your best is a sacrifice to the gift”. After running in college, I needed a break from the pounding and started riding bikes with friends more and more. My husband suggested I try bike racing. In 2009 I entered a couple bike races and was hooked. 2010 was my first season. I love the challenges of this sport. When I am not playing outside on my bike, you can usually catch me reading a good book or hanging out with family and friends.
