	HOW AND WHEN DID YOU BEGIN CROSS-COUNTRY?		My first ski was at the age of two. My damily has a cabin at Snoqualmie Pass and we had to ski into it during the winter months
	HAVE YOU HAD TO OVERCOME ANY SERIOUS INJURIES?		The summer of 2009 I had exertional rhabdomyolosis from a heat exhaustion episode. I had severe muscle damage in my quadriceps. It took me a full two months to recover.
	WHAT IS YOUR TYPICAL TRAINING REGIMEN?		Train in the am with my team, coach mid-day, and then train again in the afternoon by myself
	COACHES IN PAST AND PRESENT		My dad was my coach growing up. I had three different coaches during college. Now my coach is Erik Flora
	WHAT DO THE OLYMPICS MEAN TO YOU AND WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU WANTED TO BE AN OLYMPIAN?		The Olympics to me represent the pinnacle of athletic accomplishment. Only the best in the world make it.... it also sets you up to be a positive role model in your community and I really like that aspect
	WHAT IS YOUR PROUDEST		Making the Olympic Team and bringing my family, friends, and strangers along for the ride through my blog, stories, and experiences


	FAVORITE TRAINING AREA		The Front Range, Chugach Mountains & early season at Hatcher's Pass
	FAVORITE COMPETITION		Anything long and hard. 30 k's are my favorite!
	THREE GOALS TO ACHIEVE		I want more international experience.... I would like to earn World Cup points on a regular basis
	THREE REACHED GOALS		Made it to my first Olympics in Vancouver
	THREE THINGS WHICH WENT TERRIBLY WRONG		I recently dropped a 45 pound weight on my fingers while doing max strength.... that was unpleasant!
	OVERVIEW OF YOUR CAREER, YEAR BY YEAR		I was a lousy junior skier and mediocore throughout college. I've only recently started to ski fast. I can't wait for the next couple of years to add more history and results to my otherwise short career as an elite skier!
	I WANT YOU TO KNOW		Up until the 2010 Olympics I had a fulltime job and no sponsors.
