About Me

Whistler, BC, Canada
Cliché is defined as "a trite, or stereotyped expression" they have become thus because they never fail. Belief is the key to success... born in waterloo, i moved to the small village of Eden Mills just outside of guelph for the beggining of the 21st century. i started cross country skiing roughly at the age of 2 or 3 and ever since it has been part of my life one way or another. at the age of 7 i entered my first competition and at that time it was always just for the fun. at the age of 10 imoved to france for a year with my sister where we both took part in school and completed my first year without any skiing, which it turns out might have cost me a bit of time when i decided to get more serious into it when i came back, because i was at the back of the pack in every race when i had come back from france. i was however, tenatious in the years after that big and life changing experience. i kept to it, and slowly, but steadly climbed up the field of skiers, which brings me to where i am now.

And now, to whistler we go!

Since my move to BC, i have been living the life. to me this is brand new, even though I have been centering my life around skiing for the past two years, I have always had something else on the go, in 2007/2008 I was completing my grade 12 with a full course load of 8 courses. In 2008/2009 I was one step closer to full time skiing, but I was working everyday during the week. Now, to my dreaming mind, it has come to reality (for the instance). I am and only, an athlete for the summer. I feel amazingly fortunate to have this opportunity. Now my gratefullness is stated lets cut to the chase.
I am living in whistler village for about 2 weeks with my teammate Thomsen D'hont...the one and only teammate so far. The location is ideal in terms of getting around town on foot and proximity to rollerski paths and running trails as we can literally step out our door and be on a path or trail within 200m. The training possibilities here are absolutely amazing.
The last couple of days I have been feeling sick, I came down with some sort of stomach bug. one of those 24h bugs, but it left me pretty weak since my system was empty, and I hadn't eaten, but now I am feeling better, and I am eating, which for me, is one of the most important things out there.
I am getting ready for another big volume week and than we are off to the Haig until mid july.
