Most Memorable Race:

2019 Chicago Marathon. I had a great training cycle and I was so pumped for the race in the weeks leading up to it. On race day, I was running way faster than I should have, but it felt slow. I was worried I'd crash, but even half way through I felt completely fine. I even chugged a White Claw at mile 16. Then I saw Dan W around mile 24. He knew I was crushing it, and I knew I had to. I finished strong with an 11 minute PR. It was such a good day and I was on cloud nine for weeks.

Fun Facts:

I had dinner with Lin Manuel Miranda.
I hated cross country/track in high school.
I played football and water polo.
