After some reflection from a mix of disappointment & happiness in park city, I’m ready to share some thoughts. After recently reading @duffgibson book “The Tao of Sport”, one of the things that stuck out for me was about competition, and how you grow & learn more from playing more competitive teams / athletes. (I’ve also heard this speech multiple times during @darkhorseathletic sessions 😂 ) In my eyes, I’d rather compete against the best possible field, in order to bring out the best in me. With a strong women‘s field in Park City, I was able to step up and put up huge personal bests. To me, that is what elevating yourself & your competition is. So I left park city with a disqualification due to me locking the keys in my car (and missing sled control or “parc ferme” by less than 10 minutes), and one race day with a massive push & downtime personal best. Thanks to all who reached out, all the other athletes & coaches who took the time to advocate, and to the officials who still let us afterburn with a run - it was my favourite of the week. Chapter closed, and moving onto the next. 🔜 Lake Placid!

This Whistler trip was one for the ages 🤩🇨🇦 It’s no secret that I’ve struggled a lot in Whistler with confident sliding. This week I turned things around & had arguably the best Sliding I could have, even with 4 races in 7 days. I improved my best downtime by 0.8s, and finally pushed a personal best as well. Super proud to represent @bobsleighcanskeleton & come away with a 10th, 6th & 5th place in a really competitive field. Onwards & upwards!
First international race of the season ✅ after an intense pre-season & selections, international racing season is kicked off! It’s been a while since I’ve raced at home & I definitely felt the love today 🇨🇦 A few small mistakes down the track today, I’ll be looking to clean up over next two race days! @ibsfsliding @bobsleighcanskeleton @whistlerslidingcentre @sniperssc
Is it weird that I feel oddly calm before our selection races in an Olympic Year? For me, yes. But I’m embracing it all, because I’ve put in the work & preparation. It’s go time tomorrow!!! Thanks to the whole team behind me who have my back no matter the result. @coalitioncalgary @360brainbody @vitalstrengthphysiology #lesgramantik @bobsleighcanskeleton @sniperssc @hughespt_yyc @brendanluge @canfund @150women @classroomchampions @kidsportcalgary @fastandfemale @five21roasters @nuunhydration @endurapparel
Can you spot the @whistlerslidingcentre track crew, hard at work making sure our ice is 🙌🏼👌🏼
First week on ice is done. Time for some rest days! 🛷 💪🏼 @bobsleighcanskeleton @whistlerslidingcentre @canfund @150women @endurapparel @nuunhydration
Huge shoutout to @csipacific for the world class facilities right in Whistler. 🙌🏼🤩 gym access is continually a struggle in most towns we slide in, so to have access here, makes all the difference!!! @bobsleighcanskeleton
It’s almost slip & slide time 🍁 🛷 @whistlerslidingcentre it was great to see some friendly faces again, thank you for all the hard work!!! 🤩

Doubt; it’s the time of year when I start to think “holy crap will I remember how to do this next week?!” I have dreams of being called to the line, and my sled being in pieces, or packing endless amounts of luggage. (Seriously) I start to wonder if I’ll fall back in love with sliding, after the summer hiatus. Truth is I’m excited to take on the year, but it’s completely normal for me to have a little doubt this time of year, but you know what they say. “Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will” @classroomchampions @kidsportcalgary @vitalstrengthphysiology @canfund @150women @endurapparel @nuunhydration @bobsleighcanskeleton @ibsfsliding
🤩 headed West in a week to take care of some business. Excited to get back out sliding & also call Whistler my temporary home again! See ya soon 👋🏼 @nuunhydration @endurapparel @bobsleighcanskeleton @canfund @150women

It’s funny to get a “welcome aboard” from @classroomchampions - considering I’ve now worked there for 3 years 😂 HOWEVER, I’m super excited to be joining as an athlete mentor & working with my own classrooms this year 🙌🏼 🤩 I’ve been a part of many magic moments with other teachers & athletes and now I get to make my own!!! #classroomchampions
