Iz clipped into a bike for the first time in 2017, not realizing the new world it would open up for her. Her first ever 100 mile ride was Levi’s Gran Fondo that year. She still remembers the feeling of pushing herself further than she’d ever gone before. In 2024, just seven years after that big day, she completed the Growler in 9th place.
This year is going to be a little different, as on race-day "Iz" will be 5.5 months pregnant, and so she has a new goal: helping to claim the YOUNGEST ever Growler Finisher with her daughter who at the time will be negative 3.5 months of age!
