I'm active on several social media channels and invite you all to connect with me by clicking the social icons below.

I labeled December: “project swim” with the goal of swimming 100,000 meters. // Normally it’s so easy for me to skip a swim here or skip a swim there - making my swim log in the winter look a bit like a piece of Swiss 🧀. // Last Fall I put a big focus on swim volume, quality & form and guess what??!! I got faster 😂. // This left me super motivated and curious: could I maybe swim as fast as some of the other women I race and admire so much???!!! How much can I improve as an athlete? And thus project swim came to be. // It’s been fun - and I’m half way there, ahead of my goal 👊🏼. // Here’s to two more weeks of chlorine & my favorite black line. // #roka #rokasports #findfaster #justkeepswimming #projectswim #motivated #onamission #runneratheart #openwaterswimming #oceanswim #wetsuit #triathlete #tistheseason //
Oh, don’t mind me decking the halls in my ugly sweater jersey 💁🏼‍♀️. // Thank you @garneau for the good laugh: a custom 🎄 jersey with a 🐾 on the front. // Jealous? You can get your very own - Garneau does custom jerseys, cycling & tri kits 🎁. // PS - this kit may have to come out mid-summer when my training partners are taking things a bit too serious for my liking 😂 // #garneaucustom #louisgarneau #uglysweaterday #uglychristmassweater #trekbikes #tistheseason #holidaycheer #puppylove #merryandbright //

Wondering if it’s going to be warm enough to ride outside this weekend? 🤞🏼 // What’s your threshold for outside cold-weather riding? // I hate being cold but I love being outside this time of year when I am logging basic base miles. Appropriately dressed, without a specific workout to hit, I’ll go with 38 and up to take it outside. ⛄️// #trekbikes #trekemonda #bontrager #wintercycling #winterriding #optoutside #brrrrr #basemiles #triathlete #ironmantraining #professionaltriathlete #clifbar
2 years ago today. Oh my 💓 // #tbt #chimstagram #dogmom #goldenretriever #goldensofinstagram #goldensrule #ruffwear #puppy #puppylove
5:30am swim squad: I’m back 😂. // Getting up at 4:55am when it’s dark and 15 degrees out to jump in a pool isn’t exactly my cup of tea - but getting my butt kicked back into shape and seeing my swimmer friends is kind of nice 🤗. Plus we’ve had some epic sunrises the past few mornings. // Here’s to the hard yards (well, meters here #inbend) and early alarm clocks 👊🏼. // #december #trainingday #pool #trainingcamp #swimmerproblems #earlybird #triathletelife #triathlontraining #ironmantri #workoutwednesday #swimtraining
Just wondering where me and my @trekbikes need to go check out next year? 🏊🏻‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️// I’ve already qualified for next years World Champs - so that leaves me open to anything. As I’m planning out my 2019 race schedule - I’m all over the 🌎. I always like to pick a few favorites & try a few new ones as well. // Should I return to @imsouthafrica? I do love #Australia! I haven’t been to Wildflower in a while. Head to Europe for some summer races? Return to @ironmancanada? // What are some bucket list races I need to be considering? // #seasonplanning #raceschedule #goals #bucketlist #ironmantraining #ironmantri #womenfortri #timetrialtuesday #trekbikes #clifbar #beinspired #letsdothis

I also have a long-standing BLOG, I update less frequently than I used to, but when I do update the blog it's usually worthwhile –or – at least I like to think so.

We just returned home from an incredible trip to the Bahama's. It was my first time to this corner of the world and all I can say is: WOW.

I decided to partake in this years Ironman World Championships from the OTHER side: volunteering, spectating, commentating, cheering, socializing :)

We have an awesome couch. It's bright orange and modern looking. It's been in our living room for almost two years and up until the end of August this year, I have sat on it maybe only a handful of times.
