Other: Riding about 10 years and love competition. Wish I had the genes to go with it. I never stop trying to get better, faster and stronger and now with the bellas, having more fun. Constant encouragement comes from my riding mate and husband Mark. Constant eyerolling comes from my teenage daughter, but she still cheers me on. I love them both.
