Sonya loves anything extreme, but rowing holds a special place in her heart, when she was at college she was hit by a car and it was her fitness regime that helped her to recover much faster than most people would during her three years in rehabilitation. ” The level of fitness I was in, and my ability to stay at that fitness level and push myself there all the time, I attribute to that time on my high school rowing team ” Since her recovery Sonya rowed from Spain to Barbados with three friends in 2011, biked from Mexico to San Francisco in 2012 and has traveled the Bering Strait on a stand up paddleboard in 2013.
