Deanna's foray into cycling began at the ripe age of 4-years-old when she mistakenly took her older brother's Big Wheel present at Christmas as her own. In college, she was introduced to road cycling, and thus continued her love affair with cycling, this time on two wheels. Now living in a rural area in the Cascade Mountains of Washington, Deanna focuses her own training and coaching on the hundreds of miles of gravel forest service roads and bucolic rural roads that start at her doorstep.
Deanna comes from a rather unorthodox background for coaching cycling. She began road cycling during her time at the University of Washington while studying Biological Anthropology where she focused on the evolution of the human body through bipedal movement and improved nutrition. Additionally, she has a degree in Computer Science with 20 years experience in software development and data science. Her coaching takes into consideration both these skill sets, marrying human evolutionary biology and physiology with data analysis.
Since moving to the Cascade range of Central Washington, she has been highly focused on all things gravel cycling in addition to road. She started coordinating and leading women's group rides to introduce more women into the sport, eventually extending it to open group rides that are held several times a week (when she isn't buried under 6+ feet of snow). In addition, she was a trained coach under the Basecamp Endurance Coaching group.
Deanna prefers to coach with a methodology that isn't just focused on the physical science, but heavily takes into consideration the more human element of cycling and racing. Working on both the mental and physical elements using customized training in a very hands-on and encouraging environment to create a well-rounded athlete is her goal in helping you to achieve your goals.
