I got started ultrarunning because I was inspired by the Wasatch Ultimate Ridge Linkup (WURL) in the Wasatch Mountains. Everyday when I left my house I looked up at Ferguson Canyon where the WURL started and felt that I had to attempt it.
2. Who are you inspired by?
I am inspired by many different athletes, but especially the ones who are local and run, ski, and climb the same peaks that I do. They include Jared Campbell, Jen Day Denton, Joey Campanelli, Stacey Dorais, my friends Hayden and Matt, and the Dorais brothers Andy and Jason. Other athletes I find inspiring include Killian Jornet, David Hedges, Courtney Dauwalter, Kelly Halpin, Alex Honnold, Tommy Caldwell, and many others!
