Last I left off, we were off to whistler for our end of season training camp. After MORE isolation. It was a successful camp in whistler. 

After that, rest and recovery, and then unfortunately I contracted covid. Good timing, in a sense, since I didn't have any fitness to lose, but it SUCKED, and I lost a solid 3 weeks of really doing anything except moving from my bed, to the couch. 

Overall, after that, I spent 30 days in quarantine since January 2021... ahhhhh! I definintely learned to be adaptable, fill my time with work and other remote opportunities. 

One of my worst fears during my time with covid was IF I was going to ever feel better, and how my training would be impacted for our July training camp. 

Well, we just wrapped up our July camp a couple of weeks ago, and I'm happy to say I feel fit. Some speed is still missing in my sprints, but I pushed well & was happy to complete the camp. 

Now I'm gearing up for a wild year - I have actually been named to the "long list" (aka the list of eligible athletes) for the Beijing 2022 Olympics. I have no expectations though, I'm truly just enjoying each step that is new, and taking it moment by moment. 

To clarify, by no means am I absolutely going, we have a stellar womens program, but for the first time - I'm eligible for the Olympic team! A dream come true, and I can't wait to see which women get to represent Canada in the 2022 Olympics! 

With that, it is going to be a big year, and I need your help! Here are some ways you can support me:

This does not gurantee your donation goes to me, but, there are athletes on the waiting list they need to get through, and as I mentioned, it helps out ALL athletes that apply! 

Anyways - I am feeling AWESOME, and just trying to hone in some of my training prior to our next upcoming camp. 

Have a great summer!
