Started my athletic career as an Irish step dancer, retired at 18 and started competing in Triathlons & various running races. Competed throughout the 80's with overall wins in Lake Placid, Liberty to Liberty & Thundergust triathlons. Also competed in the 1988 Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii. Once again retired & got married and have the privilege of raising 5 children with my husband Dan. When not chasing kids around I enjoy gardening, traveling and live in Montauk N.Y & Vero Beach Fla. So look forward to being part of an amazing RAAM team!!

First time at RAAM, though I was scheduled to ride on a 2 person mixed team in 2005. I've done the non-stop Furnace Creek 508 miler twice (plus once as crew) but otherwise most of my experience is crewing and running ultramarathons. One husband, no kids, two adult step-daughters, two dogs and two cats. Looking forward to helping this awesome team ride across America!!!!
