How did you get into the sport? I joined a marathon training clinic after moving overseas to Canada as a way to make friends, and quickly realised that I loved chasing new challenges. I did three marathons in my first year and followed up with my first ultramarathon 18-months later. Having grown up hiking, it was a natural transition into focusing on trails.
