Favorite Pre-Race Meal: oatmeal in the morning, PB&J sandwiches for an afternoon or evening race.
Favorite Pump-Up Song: I don’t really ever listen to music, podcasts are what I listen to.
Funniest Mid-Race Thought: Usually my mind only starts to wander in a race if it’s not going well. I’ll start thinking of ways how I could just stop running like jumping into the lake I’m running next to.
