Hi awesome ladies of the mountain! Nice to meet you.
I am Meggie Roberts Inouye. I am a 38 yr old living with my husband and 2 boys (9 and 5 yrs old) in Truckee, CA minutes from Lake Tahoe where I was born and raised. I work part-time as a Nurse Practitoner…it’s definitely been a hard season with COVID.
I went to college in LA area and spent my weekends traveling around SoCal backpacking, rock climbing, surfing, running road marathons and falling in love with my climbing partner/husband. I lived in Bass Lake, CA for several summers and instructed youth backpacking and climbing trips in the Southern Yosemite Wilderness. My husband and I moved to Seattle in our mid-20s for grad school and did a lot of mountaineering and traveling (Mt. Rainier x2, Mt. Shasta, Palisade Range CA 14ers, Cotopaxi x2 in Ecuador, and Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania).
I would love to get back on big mountains for expeditions but have found it challenging raising my family. However, I have found that trail running, mountain biking, nordic skiing, and alpine touring fit well with my current stage of life.
My current passion is ultrarunning. I am registered for my 3rd 100k race in May hoping to complete another WSER qualifier and eventually get picked in the lottery. I also love self-supported adventures (fun fact… I held the FKT for the Evolution Loop in the High Sierra for a week). I am a Board Member of the Donner Party Mountain Runners and am especially passionate about diversity and creating a welcoming and inclusive running community and events.
Stoked to work with this group to regain fitness after taking last season mostly off and looking toward Spring/Summer goals.
