What are you most looking forward to at sea otter?
“I’m looking forward to meeting and hanging out with the adaptive athletes. Sometimes when I show up to the race so I can be the only adaptive athlete fit at sea otter I feel like I fit in, and there are so many other people like me. You’re absolutely do not have to be the best or the fastest but being around people that are really great riders definitely helps you improve your own riding and confidence.”
