I always love test sets!

What activities do you do in JOLYN: Anything having to do with a body of water I wear Jolyn.

What's your favorite JOLYN color: If I could have every color I would, I love to mix and match!

What's your favorite JOLYN style and why: I love the two piece triangle tops with Brazil bottoms. The suit is so comfortable, I'm really impressed that even under my wetsuit the tie from the top doesn't hurt.

If you were stranded on an island and could only bring 3 things, what would they be:

*A paddle board

*Wetsuit

*A Jolyn two-piece

What's your favorite beach that you have been to: Lake Michigan has so many beautiful beaches! I love Porter beach and the Indiana Dunes(plus the Dunes have awesome trials that are FUN to run or hike).

What beach is on your list to go to: Australia's Gold coast!

Who is your favorite athlete: Paula Newby-Fraser, the greatest Ironman triathlete to date, after all she is the "Queen of Kona." I have so much respect for how she raced at the Ironman distance.

If you were 60 years old, what would you tell your children:

*Do NOT worry about what other people think.

*Dream big.

What motivates you: The next race. I love racing and giving my all in a race.

If you had to be an animal, what would you be and why: A dolphin. They are so beautiful and graceful in the water.

What's the most inspiring race you've ever seen: 2008 Beijing Olympics Mens 4x100m freestyle relay. The race is insanely close between USA and France, the U.S. barely out touches France. It reminds me to be relentless and never give up.

What is your favorite holiday destination: Hawaii. I went on a training trip one winter with my team and it was the most fun I have ever had training and spending time with my best friends.

Any last words or testimonial?

"The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward."
