How did you first get involved in orienteering?
Damian Konotopetz got me into it as we were teammates on the Varsity track and field team at U of C.
If you had one tip for young orienteers, what would it be?
Have fun. Running and training is easier when you enjoy it.
What would a typical week of training look like for you (at a part of the season of your choosing)?
A typical week of training involves morning short runs, afternoon runs plus 2 track workouts a week, one long run / tempo and 1 – 2 orienteering workouts plus training sessions, ontop of work, sleep and downtime with friends.
How do you normally prepare for an important race?
I create a playlist of music that gets me pumped up and visualize how I want the race to go.
What is your big life orienteering goal?
Race at WOC
