“So Jess, how EXACTLY do you plan to even begin to explain this race on your blog?” Brad asked me. It was 6 am on our fourth day of racing and we had been canoeing for about an hour. The canoe portion of an adventure race is one of the rare times that we can… Read More…
The Adventure Begins…
I heard somewhere recently that the truest meaning of adventure is when nothing goes right. When you have carefully made plans and in a moment, they all go up in smoke. That is my RIG team mate, Brad. He was on the way to our adventure racing camp this past weekend and his car was completely burned, which contained… Read More…

Buckle up kids. I hope you have a hot cup of coffee and a bit of time because this is a longer post than normal. Firstly, I am so excited it is the weekend! I have a HUGE training weekend planned leading up to RIG and I will be sharing a few more posts than… Read More…
SeaWheeze Race Report
Happy Friday everyone! Blogland has been bustling with SeaWheeze race recaps this week and I thought I would add my two cents as well. This was my very first time in Vancouver and I fell in love with it (to the surprise of no one). Because this race is more about the experience than the race, I… Read More…
Preparing for a destination race
In an effort to stay healthy as an athlete and not burn out, I have adjusted how I race this year. I have less A races and when I do go all in, the race styles vary from running, triathlon, duathlon, and adventure racing. I love to focus on an athletic goal, but I find that once I… Read More…
Genuine Health Ironman 70.3 Team: Race Report
Well. Just like that, it is over. We have crossed that finish line, collected our medals and are left scratching our heads with what to do with all that time that we are no longer training. Well, that last part is a bit of an untruth. We have a 200 KM group cycle planned this… Read More…
Guest Race Report: Duathlon Provincial Championships 2016
As I mentioned in my last post, I raced the Duathlon Provincial Championships this past weekend. Although I had a strong enough race, it was fairly formulaic and you hear about my races all the time so I thought I would hand this one over to my training partner and bad ass athlete, Mark Cullen. Having just raced the… Read More…
Time to Recover
A week before my half ironman, I was contacted by Recharge with Milk saying that I was selected to be one of their racers for one of their multisport series. After a while on the phone, we determined that the only race that would work with my training and racing schedule was the triathlon after the… Read More…
Muskoka 70.3 Race Report
Well, I’ve had a couple days to process everything so I think it is time to talk about the race. Let me start by saying that I have never put this level of time, training or commitment into any singular event so it ended up being one of the most rewarding racing experiences of my life. The… Read More…
Laces and Lattes in a Documentry
Last year, I participated in a documentary filmed for Wilderness Traverse, which is my absolute favourite local 24 hour adventure race. Feel free to watch it below, where they explain the race and make fun of my blog name and where I always seem to be eating something: You can read my race recap about it… Read More…
