last week, somebody asked me what i think about when i race. sometimes, i think about that question when i train. today, while swimming, i thought that 25 random facts are not enough. so, *here* Are some more :)

  • my favourite movie of all time is amelie. and, not just cause she has the same name as me, but that is a bonus.
  • i ate fish food when i was a kid. i swear i was forced.
  • i forced a friend of mine to eat a grasshopper in grade 7.
  • i have been beaten by birch branches by a old, naked russian.
  • i believe in god.
  • i have an older brother, who i wish i saw more.
  • i have a piece of titanium in my wrist.
  • i have traveled to more states (about 35?) than most americans have.
  • i have spooned in cat suits, in the back of a 2003 matrix, with 4 other people. yup, we all fit.
  • i live in a basement suite, with bars on the windows.
  • i once had a roommate with a very famous dad.

Syracuse 70.3 race report

It is pretty amazing to think about the last few years of my life... in many ways.  I remember the day that I wrote the MCAT in the Fall of 2008, and knew on that day that my life would not be aimed towards becoming a physician.  I was a bit lost, because that is what I had thought I wanted to do for many many years.  I knew that, but, I also knew what I was passionate about:  the physical body and health care, helping people, community, and (well... africa).  The thing that I thought about being doctor, was the extreme amount of "influence" that they can have on people.... Life changing.  But, I also forgot about all the other professions that can be equally influential. through a journey that I don't necessarily need to outline again, I found nursing. And, boy, am I ever glad that I did.  Nursing has changed by life, my perspective, and makes me exceptionally excited about the career that I have ahead of me.   The last three years at McGi...

So, I have recently made a vow that I would never again write a race report on the same day as a race.  Well, that has been nixed for this race.  and, I guess the reason is because... I  know  it is going to be a race report that has no potential to be anything but good :)
