Erin's story is not one of always being an athlete but rather one of recognizing the kind of person she wanted to be, the values that type of person had and changing her life to become that person.
We also talked about body image and the challenge of being a "not typical" (whatever that means) athlete in sports where sometimes body size and shape can and does matter. We both get pretty heated with our opinions on the way women are judged on size rather than skill.
Erin is also an accomplished cyclist, a sport I do not know much about, and I think you'll enjoy hearing about a self-supported, 200 mile GRAVEL bike race.
