About Courtenary Brown

Bio:

My full name is Courtenay Lewis Brown. I was born on September 7, 1978. My childhood years were spent in Maryland, Hawaii, the Philippines, South Carolina, California, and on the back of a horse.

I graduated from Garrison Forest School in 1996. My sport was horseback riding.

I spent a year abroad working for various plant physiologists. I learned that I didn’t want to be a scientist. Then I went to the University of Virginia, so I could get a good education and ride horses too. During my third year at U.Va. I started running, with the goal of competing in the Charlottesville 10-miler in 2000. I finished 6th overall. Then I had to quit running because my ignorant training methods gave me multiple stress fractures in both heels. Sad, but good because I didn’t have to choose between the ponies and the cross-country team. I graduated with honors in 2001 with a degree in Economics and History.

From 1999 to 2002, I worked at 91.9 WNRN-FM in Charlottesville, where I had my own weekday morning show, “Late for Work with Courtenay Brown.” Now it’s Late for Work with some dude. I also held your standard barista and waitress jobs, and I knew Dave Matthews.

I moved to San Francisco in November of 2002. I started cycling in 2003, racing locally in 2004, nationally in 2005 through 2007. In late 2007 I learned how to swim. I started to run again. I did two triathlons and I won one of them.

Now I am a triathlete.

Oh, and I like to draw and paint!
