Avid runner & athlete, grew up doing sports my entire life and fell in love with running about 5 years ago. Now I've done countless of races including 11 marathons and can't wait to continue to break those PRs. I run with a running team here in Chicago - DWRunning and overall through the running community have found my home here in the city. I'm originally from South Africa and have traveled (and run :)) all over the world including living in Shanghai, China for 2 years. Full time Corporate Finance Snr Manager therefore get my workouts in the mornings. Very sensitive stomach and Picky bars have been a saving grace for me. It's helped me win countless of age group awards, and even enabled me to win a marathon (small one) once! PRs currently at 1:22 for the half and 2:57 for the full. Hope to break the 2:55 barrier next! I swam for 10 years, in school, so perhaps one of these days I'll take on a triathlon or ironman. But not yet!
