Her passions entails being exposed to the harmful rays of the sun and prone to accidents.

While preparing to run her second Ironman 70.3, she experienced permanent skin damage a month before the triathlon.

She recounted, "I crashed on my bike and scraped the skin on my right side as I slid on the concrete road.

"Despite portions of my skin being exposed, I pushed through. I had wounds all over."

Those scars now signifies moments of joy, love, pain, and sacrifice in her life.

Initially, "It was bothersome, and I would get conscious whenever I would wear sleeveless.

"But now, I leave it there. It's part of me."

Her other constant skin problem is dryness, which is usually caused by chlorine in the pools.
