Zone Products Used in Training: Consistent (daily) use of Zone Bars, Eico Pro and OmegaRX Fish Oil, accompanied by occasional use of Zone Cereal, Shakes and Pasta.

Benefits Seen With Zone: Decrease in recovery time, significantly increased balance and stamina before and inbetween meals (with use of bars), decrease in soreness between workouts (fish oils)... the OmegaRX and EicoPro also played a big part in my recent weight traning, as I was able to add my goal of 10-12 pounds of muscle in just 4 months (this was rapid for a slender distance swimmer such as myself!)

Best Athletic Accomplishment To Date: Anchor leg of American Record breaking 800 free relay senior year at Stanford

Favorite Thing About Training: Time with teammates, interaction between sets and during lifting/dryland

Least Favorite Thing About Training: Those days when nothing seems to go right and you cannot seem to perform! (but they do provide great perspective for the good days)

Biggest Challenge Overcome: Overcame serious spine injury at 14 to qualify for Junior and then Senior Nationals within 12 and 18 months post injury.

Competition Rituals: elevate legs and relax with gentle arm and leg shakes 15-20 min prior to race... prayer behind the blocks before race.

Favorite Race: Depends on the given day and season, 200 free or 400/500 free most often.

Hobbies: Reading, movies with friends, anything outdoors (camping, beach, scuba diving)

One Fact No One Knows About You: I went Scuba and Sky diving in the same year (and eagerly await my next new adventure! Any suggestions?)
