A tandem swim with Kyla! Kyla and I tackled open water together after we graduated from college. We did our first open water and marathon race together (the Castle 10k) and since have both been hooked.

If you had told me when I first started biking in 2020 that I would one day bike up a 14er, I wouldn’t have believed it. I’ve never been a strong cyclist. Especially up hills.

20 Bridges is an iconic swim. A circumnavigation around Manhattan, passing under the it's 20 bridges and swimming through it's three important rivers.

My first ultra marathon swim! Ever since I did my first marathon 10K in 2021, I knew I wanted to go longer and Tahoe seemed like the perfect intro to it. It's cold water but not too cold; it's freshwater without the crazy ocean currents; it's at night (like many ultra swim are) but starts …
