Fit and Fun

Last weekend Heidi Widmer, Sarah Daitch and I held the first Fast and Female Fit and Fun event! The idea was to have a mini version of the full day Fast and Female event so that more events can be held in more places each year. Chandra was at the event as well to help inspire the girls.

We did a small talk, Chandra led a warm-up then we split the 52 girls into 3 groups and circuited through 3 stations (biathlon, agility/ski striding, and ultimate frisbee). Chandra finished off the afternoon with an inspirational speech. The stations were all big hits and it was tough for the girls to pick their favorite part.

We were on the front page of the Canmore Leader (here) and there was an article in the Rocky Mountain Outlook (here).



I just came off a rest week (only 6 hours of training!) and I'm getting set for a busy week. The team is doing spring testing so I have a double pole test and uphill skate time trial at the end of the week. My biochem course is almost done and my final exam is on the 30th so I'll be spending a lot of time at my desk memorizing metabolic pathways, enzyme mechanisms and other fascinating things.
