[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Karin is a seasoned cyclist, and a cross-country bike ride (or race!) has long been on her bucket list. A competitive swimmer since childhood, Karin transitioned to triathlon in her late 20s, going on to participate in hundreds of races at all multi-sport distances over the last two and a half decades. A frequent USAT Nationals qualifier, Karin is a 70.3 and Ironman podium finisher who earned an All-World Ironman silver designation in 2019. She currently holds the Chisago Lakes Women’s Aquabike course record, set in July 2021. While Karin has pedaled in numerous multi-day cycling events, the 2022 Race Across America easily represents the most difficult challenge of her endurance racing career. Blessed by parents going strong and healthy into their 90s, Karin is eager to support Gaia Home, recognizing our community’s need of a comfortable, homey place for families to enjoy special time together during the final season of life.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Donate to Karin’s Cause” style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”danger” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Flovesweatandgears.net%2Fdonate|||”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”14331″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
