Most Memorable Race:

2019 Chicago Marathon where 3 years of hard work and determination towards trying to break 2:50 all came to fruition with my best race ever. Secured a PR, 10th consecutive Chicago Marathon raced and 10th consecutive Chicago Marathon PR, finished Top 10 in AG, 3rd fastest U.S.A. runner in my AG and negative split the race!!! I’ve never managed a race better in my life and it felt fantastic crossing that finish line knowing I am capable of achieving great things!

And although 2019 Chicago Marathon was epic, 2021 Boston was its own highlight reel! Going in with no expectations other than running a sub-3 hr race with Dave Walters and Matt Flaherty, as it was my 3rd marathon in 6 weeks, I had one of the funnest races I’ve ever had. I ran my 3rd fastest time, negative split, got to witness Dave win his AG as we passed more runners in the last 7-ish miles than I ever have! Thanks for the memories Dave and Matt!
