Beautiful moments (instead of successes): jumping in the fjord in Oslo in March with my biathlon friends to celebrate the end of the World Cup season

Where do you live?

Lake Placid, New York, USA

Your biggest success?

Reaching the biathlon World Cup podium and starting a ski club almost 20 years ago at Wellesley College which is still popular and growing

What did you lern from life for competitive sports?

Accept the things I cannot change

Three things that belong in your backpack/travel bag:

lucky pigs, duct tape, bathing suit

Ability to suffer:

of course, I’m a cross-country skier! But for me skiing is actually fun. We call it “type 2 fun” when you push yourself mentally and physically, but still enjoy it
