"When I started training for my first adventure race, I couldn't climb a hill on my mountain bike. In fact, my first race ended with a trip to the hospital! Since that time, I've learned what commitment, persistence and teamwork are really all about. The outdoors has taught me many lessons that I could never experience from the sidelines. My goal is to work everyday towards pushing my limits and doing my part in sharing these experiences with others."
I Ling's passion for adventure has taken her motor crossing along trails in the North Georgia Mountains; wreck and deep scuba diving; long distancing sea kayaking along Australia's coastline; and rock climbing, rappelling and ascending. She also encourages others to push their fitness as a certified cycle (PACE) instructor, kickboxing instructor and personal trainer. As a recent recipient of a BALANCE® Bar grant, I Ling has begun to test the waters of adventure sports. As a new mountain biker and adventure racer, I Ling has had the opportunity to travel to some of the most incredible and inspiring places in the country. In 2003, I Ling jumped headfirst into adventure sports competitions, including:
I Ling believes that anyone, particularly teens and women of any age, can learn from adventure sports, when given the opportunity and the right reinforcement. |
