Brady competed on the World Cup tour from 19992004 and the America's Cup this last year. In her first year competing. Felicia raced with Brady on the America's tour in 2002-03. The following year, she suffered a head injury on the track, and had to sit out the year. This year she competed on the Europa Cup tour. Trying to balance all of their obligations has been interesting for the couple. Brady, who works as a physicist for the Air Force, was able to slay with the children this winter, because all of his races were within the borders of the United States, while Felicia traveled in Europe. Last year, as she was recovering from the head injury, Felicia was able to stay home. "Somehow, it's always had a way of working out," said Felicia. This year, the Air Force is supporting Brady's training as a part of their world-class athlete program, which has allowed him relief from at least one obligation.
