I've been in florida for six years now and I feel like I'm going crazy. I'm usually never in one place for too long, but the problem with that is you never really find your place if you don't stay. I'm working on it but it feels like I should be moving on.

I managed to make it to Edmonton with the help of some friends and team sponsors!
The flight was spectacular..... 1st class, thanks to an upgrade from a gate attendant that was also a cycling fan!
So I arrive in Edmonton - and it's cold.
I mean reeeeeeeeeeeally cold. +4 celcius was the high on Thursday. Got to my Hotel and put the bike...

with any luck, I won't forget anything....
wish me well!
I'll report back as soon as I get settled on Saturday night...

tita:
How did it go???
erwha:
so much has happened over the last 10 days....
I was a little off with the date of Nationals.... it's this coming Saturday Oct 11
to make a long story short.... the race was on and off for me at least 3 times over the last week or so.
dog sitter needed
money needed
flights were looking overbooked because of Cdn Thanksgiving weekend traveling
thankfully friends stepped up to take care of my dog
sponsors came to my aid and helped with some of the expenses to get to Edmonton
and my coach has ramped up my training for me to explode by Saturday.......
I'm very fortunate to have such good people around me.
I can only hope to pull off a great result as a show of my appreciation....... stay tuned!!!!
