For me…my best self is in the mountains, on top of a mountain on a clear day where you can just sit and see the earth, the heavens and everything in between.

I think for me it would be at the climbing gym, just me and the wall. It doesn’t matter how tired I am, how crazy my day has been, once I see the wall, I zone. It’s just me, my wits and ability coming against this wall. I study, contort and twist, I press into, normally impossible positions in my day to day life, with this wall. I find a surge of physical strength that normally is dormant, and never called on. Sweat pours off every inch of me, and at that moment, I am no more the girl next door, but a conquer, against every limitation that presents itself in my life. That is my moment and place, where it’s just about me, what I can do, tackling, and dominating those walls before me.

Something amazing happens to me when I’m in the gym, lifting weights, training really hard. Even if its a ‘bad’ day in the gym, a bad day there is better than a good day anywhere else! But its also about how I feel – about the world, about myself, about other people. Its not just the endorphin high, but a sense that this is the place where I truly belong. I also have to say that its the time when I look in the mirror, and feel completely attractive….in the most profound way! Not just on the outside, but all the way through!

With good friends, I am my own best self. Doesn’t matter what I am doing – when I am surrounded by people I care about, and who care about me, I feel grounded and capable. I am pretty independent, but I find that the times I spend with friends really bolster my spirit and help me to be even a better version of me.

I’m my own best self in or on the water.
Here in Minnesota, we love our lakes. I grew up swimming in northern Minnesota lakes and still swim there. I have expanded my water activities to kayaking, sailing, fishing, water skiing, scuba diving, ice skating (when the water is solid) and in general just playing in or on the water. I have been doing triathlons for over 10 years which of course combine my love for the water with my other favorite land sports.

I am me when I’m running at my local park. The park I’ve played endless lacrosse games on in high school, and the trail I’ve run marathons after marathons on over the years. When sweat bleeds from my pores and there is nothing but the pavement and my body working like a tuned machine to weave around every corner and drive up every hill… I am me…

Age: 43
Previous competitive sports: gymnastics, springboard diving, bicycle racing, volleyball
Current athletic passion: alpine skiing

Raised to be the “athlete” in the family, the majority of my life has been consumed with summer time sports. After moving to Reno, Nevada a year and a half ago, I set forth on a mission to learn to ski. What started as a goal to accomplish, has become a passion…a sport that moves me and lets me “touch the sky” (hard to avoid at 10,000 feet with Lake Tahoe below!). I am my own best self when I can find that sweet spot in the loosely groomed snow and “dance” down the slopes in a rhythm that is truly magical…

I love your products and would love to see you branch into winter sports apparel!

I am at my best when I am with my rugby team. On and off the pitch we are an intelligent, caring and athletic group of women ranging in age from 16 to 46. The amount of skill and knowledge that comes out of this team is remarkable; it pushes me to push my limits and be the absolute best I can. I am my best with this team because I am encouraged to be strong, aggressive and smart. This makes me confident in myself!
