Background:
I began my triathlon career in 2007 as a complement to collegiate rowing.  I earned my B.S. in Cell in Molecular Biology from Auburn University, then my Masters in Biomedical Science from the University of Virginia. I currently own Runner's High, a running specialty shop in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In addition to to day-to-day shoe fit/sales, we specialize in group training programs from 5K's to triathlons. 

  • Personalized Training Plans designed for your fitness and goals.
  • Data based training for triathlon, cycling, and running (access to Training Peaks or Garmin Connect preferred, but not mandatory)
  • Training for High Performance
  • Training for beginner triathletes and kids

Denise has been competing in multisport events for nearly a decade and is consistently a competitive age grouper with multiple age group wins, podiums, and overall wins.  She hopes to bring this experience back to Hattiesburg to promote the sport of triathlon.
