About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	Growing up in Cape Town, South Africa, I spent weekends and vacations hiking in the mountains and cycling to school. I started distance cycling in 2004 when I joined a dynamic triathlon team in California. One challenge led to another. I always had dreams of cycling across the US but thought it would take 30days after a run down the west coast. The run is still on hold, but may change to a transcontinental crossing just like the bike crossing became an opportunity to participate in a prestigious event. My 6 x 100 mile runs and 3 marathon ocean swims and Quintuple Ironman grew from the endurance I gained climbing the 7 summits. When not in the outdoors, I am a pediatric nurse who is almost complete with her doctorate as a pediatric primary care nurse practitioner. I am also teaching the next generation of nurses the joy, art and science of caring and health promotion for their future communities.
