Favorite place to train: Grand Haven, MI. I like that there is Lake Michigan to run along and swim in. Plus there are some great places to ride along the lakeshore passing beautiful houses and cottages!
What I dread about race day: Having to eat when I am nervous before my race.
If I could have lunch with anyone it would be: I would choose Will Smith because I think he is a great actor. I am curious what it would be like to have a conversation with him!
