Completing Puerto Rico 70.3 was one of the hardest things I have done and I found it significantly more challenging than running a marathon. Though I was straight up terrified of the swim (and never swam more than 1200 yards training), I knew the bike would be the toughest part mentally.

Gasparilla 15K – 2016
The Gasparilla 15K was my first race since my half marathon in NC and part of my training for the Delaware Coastal Marathon which I signed up for on a whim over Christmas break.
