In 2009, she was named the winner of the AAU James E Sullivan Award as the nation’s top amateur athlete. She also placed her fiancé’s two young boys on her shoulders while she ran during her CrossFit workouts, then put them on her back while she did bear crawls, to grow accustomed to the heaviness of a backpack.īefore this desert race, she had established a dozen or so world records or firsts for below-the-knee amputees, including running the 26.2 miles of the 2006 Chicago Marathon in 3 hours 4 minutes 16 seconds. She trained for the heat of the desert, in part, by doing lunges and burpees in a sauna.

She is a single mother of two teenagers, 15 and 13, intensely driven, remarkably persevering. Her lower left leg was amputated below the knee in 1997 after a motorcycle accident.
