A little about Elise

I've been an athlete my entire life, I was blessed with fitness minded parents that got us (my brother and I) in sports at a young age. I swam competitively from about ages 8-18, but also played basketball, soccer, volleyball was a gymnast  and eventually became a cheerleader, which ironically is the sport I ended up doing in college (the swim burn-out was real).
I think I competed so much at a young age that I spend most of my 20s doing the exact opposite, I took a 17 year hiatus from the pool but finally returned in 2020, in fact I took up many sports again in 2020. I am sure a global pandemic had nothing to do with it (sarcasm). I completed my first triathlon last year, at TriFest in Arkansas, as well as my first ever MTB race; Heartbreaker at Creve Coeur.
I name all of my bikes; I have "Fire Snatch" the tri bike, "Coraline" the CC MTB bike, "Sunshine" the gravel/road bike, and the newest addition "Stoney" the Enduro MTB bike.
I am not super interested in being competitive at this stage in my life, I am, however, always interested in fitness and longevity! I love riding bikes and if I compete from time-to-time on this journey of being active, i'll embrace it!
