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 was a fantastic place to stay, and we indeed, talked! it was great :) after a solid sleep on friday night, I was able t

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 :)

Its been a while since I have posted.  It has also been a great month, with lots on the plate of things to do.

It also includes a contest...  Our fabulous wedding photographers have an "I like it the most" contest;  we aren't in first place, but on a good go for second... maybe we can do a last push to first!!!  Please go and com
