Robyn's Life Blog!

I have completed my time with American Magic, the America’s Cup team. Quite a ride. Awesome three years, thanks all.

And now, on to the next. My first year running (as my primary activity!) meant exploring trails, tracks, mountains, everything tall, long and crazy while down in New Zealand. My mission for the year was: run four ultras, scale/scramble/run/crawl more than 50,000m of elevation & help to share that trail running (sometimes very far) is do-able.

My second year running was about throwing myself into the world of international racing at a high level and test it out. Saying no to conventional work, saying yes to being a full time sponsored athlete, and going full steam ahead to test: a) did I like the racing, b) did I like the people, c) was I good enough? Yea-ha-ya!! to all three.

Year three of running/year two of full time, racing in two continents, sharing time with my international teammates, making friends all over the sport, putting myself into the most competition possible and learning as much as possible at every turn.

Now I’m on my third year as a pro running athlete. This year will be more racing all over the world, moving towards the big-leagues. Come-on outside & let’s adventure!

I started this blog with my adventures in Italy, January 2015, where I taught Italian high school students math and physics and explored northern Italy on the weekends. I had many sailing adventures in college – check out the College Sailing tab, my Bermuda America’s Cup Base trip and my Post-College Adventures tab! I then transitioned in the sailing world. I worked at Oakcliff Sailing in Long Island sailing as many fast cool boats as possible (see Oakcliff tabs), and then moved onto designing for the America’s Cup. Now on to some crazy running adventures.

Join me for some potentially interesting (potentially rambling) conversations about what I’m up to!
