LOCATION: Norwich, Vermont
FAVORITE GU PRODUCT: Liquid Gel
FAVORITE ENERGY GEL FLAVOR: Strawberry Banana
FAVORITE NUTRITION HACK:
Squeeze multiple gels inside a single GU soft flask—this makes for easy fueling for those long runs! Also, I think it is always wise to bring more nutrition than you think; better you have extra gels than to bonk!
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU? WHAT'S YOUR WHY?
I’m motivated by learning, exploring and pushing my body and mind. I always want to feel like I’m growing. Running is the ultimate playground for all of this. Also, it’s just fun to do epic adventures, am I right ?
HOW ARE YOU DOING GOOD IN YOUR COMMUNITY?
From small acts—picking up the phone and calling trail running friends who need support. To larger acts—fundraising for my organization Out Trails to put on queer outdoor programming and LGBTQ work. All in all, I love people, and I show up for them however they need me.
