After having a miserable race here last year, I came back to get my revenge. The weather was nice and cool (mid 30’s) and I ran a much better strategic race, on a very hilly course. I finished 3rd woman overall, in a time of 1:39:39.

Run and Ride Race, Half Marathon
King’s Island, Mason OH 10/23/16
A run through an amusement park! It was a deceptively challenging course, lots of twists and turns, and hillier than I expected. The weather was perfect, in the mid 40’s, and that helped me run a pretty strong race. I was 7th overall and 1st woman, with a time of 1:35:34.
Tyrol Epic Duathlon
Mt. Horeb, WI 10/16/16
The last race of the Wisconsin Duathlon Series, a 5k/22 mile/1.5 mile race that ran up and down the slopes of a ski area, biked up to the top of Blue Mounds, then another run up the ski slope. It was epic, for sure. I was sick all week before the race, but felt better on race day and did well. I won the first overall woman in a time of 1:58:08.

Milwaukee, WI 4/2/16
Kind of decided to do this on the spur of the moment, and when race day got here, it was a blizzard! 19 degrees and blowing snow.
