Age: 29
What I have done in the past:
Gymnast growing up
Very thankful for the flexibility my years as a gymnast gave me...and even now I am still up for a handstand walking battle at any time :-)

Competed with the state team at the national level, racing at state championships and german championships. Multiple state champion title in cross, steeple and middle distance.

Healing from a sesamoid bone fracture in my foot :-(
Anything else that is important?
Cat 2 cyclist - really enjoyed racing as a cyclist until I ended up with stitches. Get over it and return, then in 2012 I got hit by a car (luckily with minor injuries).
Cat 2 Cyclocrosser - combining running, steeplechase and cycling? Bring it!!!
Running - always love running, post college proudest moment? Winning in my first marathon (IMS) ever with a course record and 5 weeks of training. Boston 2014 here I come!!!
Triathlon - Pro card, spend 2011 racing in the USA, Austria, Germany and Spain. Proudest moment? Winning the Elite Duathlon National Championship race (even though I was not awarded the title due to me being originally from Germany :-(, leading the 5150 points system for one week (YAY) and going into the 5150 championship race, the HyVee triathlon ranked 7th.
