My indoor rowing adventure started as a 52nd birthday gift to myself—a Concept2 RowErg! As a runner and triathlete, I needed a break for my knees while still fueling my love for downhill skiing. With 36+ marathons, two 50-milers, four Ironmans, and nine Mt. Washington Road Races behind me, I was ready for a new endurance challenge—and rowing became just that!

These short events don’t capture the full story; behind each race lies a tremendous amount of hard work and commitment that goes into preparing for these moments. There’s no room for quitting—only perseverance and determination! 💪🏼🎉🥇 My focus is on staying strong and pushing towards my target 🎯, maintaining concentration, and giving it my all. Having survived so much as a 13-year cancer survivor, I’ve learned that it all comes down to hope and believing in yourself.
