Chelsea is a gravel and endurance athlete who cut her teeth on nearly a decade of triathlon before trading transition zones for the dirt roads of the Northeast. With degrees in chemistry and computer science and a career in software engineering, she treats race prep like an engineering problem then rides on instinct when it counts.

Her 2026 season speaks for itself: podiums at every race she entered, highlighted by 2nd Overall Open Female at Mid South 100, 1st Overall Female at Natchaug Epic, 3rd Overall Female and 1st Age Group at Unbound 200, and 1st Overall Female at The Rift 200km in Iceland.

Nine years into sobriety, Chelsea will tell you endurance sport is where she learned to keep showing up and that the finish line is rarely the point. When she’s not racing, she’s mapping new dirt loops through the Hudson Valley, usually with an ice cream stop built into the route.
