Happy to place in the top 10 in 3 world championships this year and manage to make it on the podium for one! This year has been great, I won my first national title at the USA Winter Triathlon Championships, was 3rd at the ITU Off Road World Championships, won my first XTERRA pro race at XTERRA Brazil Costa Verde in  and was 5th (2nd US) at the USA XTERRA Championships.

Big thanks to my sponsors: Specialized, Avia, GU, Rudy Project and Blue Seventy, and all those who support and help me out.

Enjoying a few days in Maui before heading back to Park City.
