It's hard to pin point one thing that drives me to compete. The easiest way to make someone understand is to say that I'm not trying to be a competitor, I AM a competitor. It's in my blood, I can't imagine my life without racing. I've been racing for as long as I can remember and its as much apart of who I am as my name.

I want to run some races in Europe. I think Denmark would be awesome. Toughest has been on my bucket list for a long time. The racing there seems so much more legit than here in the US, much more of an elite race. I want to throw down on those technical rigs, there are so many more!! Legit.

If I wasn't an OCR athlete I would have probably gone into decathlon. I was on the fence about going after OCR because I wouldn't be able to chase decathlon as well. But I think I made a good decision. I honestly think I would have been a great Decathlete. I have always been a "jack of all trades" athlete so I think that it would have played to my strengths rather well.

I like the 15k distance and below. The longer races are still a little much for me, it's going to take me awhile to master those longer distances. I'm still quite young so I know where my strengths lie. Im already starting to bridge the gap to the longer events but its still going to take me a little more time and training.

Most of my focus is Running, as everyone's should be. 70% of this sport is running so that should be the primary focus. But I supplement a fair share of strength training into my weekly schedule. I run or bike 6 days a week and strength train 2-3 days per week. One of those days is usually interval based running with OCR specific strength movements intermixed. Ill have one day that is purely strength training with a high intensity circuit that I do. Sometimes I'll add an extra day but it varies.
