75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
Let's have a moment of serious talk here. Sometimes something happens in the world or in my world that just needs acknowledging. Since the start of the pandemic we here on the Atlantic Coast of Canada have been very privileged. Some of that comes from our more isolated geography and economy but a decent amount...

Unfortunately even if we take our training super seriously we still have to live our lives and that means sometimes we do things that make us hurt ourselves. That’s the boat I’m in at the moment. I’m not really sure how it happened but it has again. I’d say once a year or so I... Continue Reading →

It's okay to take a break! We are having a weekend to a week of rain right now. The kind of rain where you avoid going outside at all costs and think about what it would be like to live on a speedboat as an arc if you had to. I've thought about it a... Continue Reading →
