Second Wind Racing
Mom. Sailor. Olympic hopeful. All in.
This Isn’t a Comeback. It’s the Second Wind.
I’m Lauren Wilson — lifelong sailor, mom of two, and Olympic hopeful. I started sailing in Coronado at age 7. By 17, I was a nationally ranked Laser sailor and a member of the U.S. Sailing Team. But instead of chasing Olympic gold, I chose to get my degree — and build a life, career, and family.
Now, two decades later, I’m back — stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever to compete on the world stage — not in spite of being a mom and mid-career athlete, but because of it.
This campaign isn’t just about medals. It’s about momentum.
It’s about showing my kids — and yours — that we don’t age out of our dreams. It’s about the women on the line, the ones making waves, and everyone who's ever asked, “Why not now?”
