Rea describes herself as a “lover of life”. She has been doing sports for her entire life: she started as a gymnast, but quit and focused on her studies. During college, Rea started running as a way to relax and did a lot of trail running, stumbled into obstacle course racing and became kind of a superstar in Spartan and other obstacle course races. Because of injuries she sustained due to underfueling, she started cycling, downhill skiing and doing other sports and since then completed many cycling, running, triathlon and other adventure races. Nowadays, she is concentrating on Ski Mountaineering racing and wants to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Skimo. Rea suffered with eating disorders for a long time, which took a huge toll on her sporting career and impacted her life. Luckily, she managed to recognise the problem and found a way out of it. Since then, she is enjoying her life as an athlete herself, but is also a coach and wants to share her knowledge and experience with others.
