DOUBT Ever feel like an imposter? Like you’re living someone else’s life? Here I am- 43 years old, blind, and chasing the biggest goal in all of athletics. A spot on the United States Olympic Team in a sport I only took up 6 years ago. Only 8 years ago I was the fine wine buyer for a chain of large wine stores in NY/ NJ and CT. I knew my place in the world. I loved my chosen career and knew that as someone living with vision loss, it would be something I could do for the…

Weekend Getaway for Team USA A week ago I was sitting in a season-end recap meeting with Team USA program manager Amanda Duke at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Very appropriately given to me by my very funny British sports psychologist Simon Marshall, author of “How to calm the Fuck down and Rise to the Occasion- The Brave Athlete”. Since I was a kid, I could carry on three or even four conversations in a given 5 minute span. Conversations would typically meander from topics of horses, to the insane amount of laundry I had to tackle, boyfriend problems and…
Tennessee and Me I’m ten days into an incredible trip to train and race with guide Kirsten Sass here in beautiful, rural McKenzie Tennessee. I’m surrounded by miles and miles of cotton and corn fields and rolling hills with long country roads dotted with family farms. It’s a little slice of heaven for a runner or cyclist. Pair that with her saltwater 25-yard indoor 2-lane lap pool, weight room, and a husband who has been pulling quadruple duty as dad, chef, massage therapist and guide this week, and I’m tempted to stay beyond my race- lol! Ok, the…
