For us, racing and training are a family affair. When we're not busy training, we are raising our 2 boys and/or working as partners in our art business. Our boys, Storm & Steel crew for us during our longer races.
In 2014, Marc and I crossed the finish line of the Leadville 100 Series for the 3rd time together, becoming Leadman & Leadwoman for our 3rd consecutive year. We've been dubbed the "Leadcouple".
