Born and raised in Corona del Mar / Newport Beach. What got you started on running, when, where, etc.? I only really started running in the past 1-2 years. I became interested in a new sport out of Sweden called Swimrun that involves racing across a chain of islands by swimming between them and running across each one. I’ve been swimming my whole life and needed to get serious about running to be competitive. What has been your favorite race and why? The most beautiful race I’ve ever done was a 28-mile Swimrun through the Nuuksio National Park in Finland. The lakes were crisp and clear and the trails through the forest were technical and serene. What is the coolest place you have gone for a run? I really loved running from the base town of Halls Gap to the summit of the Pinnacles in the Grampians National Park, Victoria, Australia. Tons of elevation gain and amazing natural structures. What are you training for now and how is it going? I have the Otillo Swimrun World Championships in Sweden in 2 weeks, consisting of 42 miles of trail running and 10km of open water swimming across 25 islands. I am feeling stronger and more prepared than ever right now. Do you have any races that interest you? I would really like to run any of the Vacation Races Ultra Marathons (Antelope Canyon, Bryce Canyon, or Zion). What are your current running goals? I’m working on my endurance to complete ultra-marathon distances. What is your best running tip? Run with A Snail’s Pace running club meetups. Everyone is amazing, friendly, and inclusive. My running has improved significantly since I joined! Why do you run? I like competing in endurance races and how good I feel at the end is directly related to how much I run. Any other hobbies or interests? I coach CrossFit, Lifeguard at Newport Beach, and surf. What do you like most about being a member of A Snail’s Pace Running Club? The people I’ve met through the Meetups and the coaching that I have received has really jump started my running development.
