EXCITEMENT!!

Hello all!

Thanks to my friend Sherry Novak (love ya!) I have created my first blog to chronicle my adventure of a lifetime! I am leaving for New Zealand on the 16th of February for six weeks to race Ironman New Zealand on March 1st in Taupo.

Even though I have done two Ironman races before, both were in Canada, so this will definitely be a change. Training for a summer race over the Canadian winter has been a challenge, but with the help of my torturer, er, I mean coach, Mark Overton of Lifesport, I feel confident that this will be my best Ironman experience ever....

Stay tuned for pictures, rants, whining and anecdotes as I embark on the last leg of this journey!
