5 Things About Me: Rachel McArthur
- I have two pets, a rabbit and a cat & they’re besties.
- Sir Walter Miler usually falls on my birthday, this year will be 4 days after it!
- I have a Sir Walter Miler mug I use daily for my coffee, not sure where that came from.
- I love the Raleigh area, even extended my stay for a few days after the race so my mom and I can go shopping.
- I always have dessert before I race, it’s my only pre-race ritual (so any good local spot recommendations would be great.)
5 Fast Questions
- What is your song of the Summer? Lady Gaga, Summerboy
- What’s one place you’ve run that you wish everyone could grab a few miles on? Nidda Park, in Frankfurt Germany
- What’s your favorite way to hydrate to beat the heat of the Summer? Cadence Cans/electrolyte Sachets!
- What’s something you do for fun in your “offseason?” Travel. I love fashion and design so I love to visit cities where I can shop/dress up and expand my wardrobe.
- Do you have any connections to Raleigh and/or North Carolina? I’ve only ever been to NC for college visits or going to the beach (OBX) constantly, growing up.
