POCAR Race Report

Good morning! It’s been a couple weeks past POCAR so it is time to do a recap before it completely fades from memory. This was my very first winter rogaine race so I literally had no idea what to expect. All I knew was that it was supposed to go down to -15C (5F for… Read More…

Goals for December 2015

Mental Health for Athletes

Mental Health for Athletes

You guys are so supportive. Thank you for your high fives on my triumphant return. In typical fashion, I delayed the progress by doing the RAID THE HAMMER this past Sunday and although my physiotherapist and coach probably threw something across the room when I told them that I participated, they are both athletes themselves… Read More…
