Welcome to my blog! I try to keep this updated with training and racing news as I pursue my Olympic dream.

I would like to thank the Alberta World Cup Society for funding the Academy program. Also, a big thanks to my awesome sponsors and of course my family who have supported me every step of the way!

I'm always looking for new sponsors so if you are interested or know of anyone who might be then contact me at alyssonmarshall(at)gmail.com for my sponsorship package.

Hawaii!

After a long season of racing I needed a break so I convinced my parents to go on a family vacation. My brother was able to get away and my parents got the time off work so we planned a trip to the Big Island. Here are some pictures from our first week!

My house in Salmon Arm on Monday, Apr.18: 9 inches of fresh snow!

First morning in Hawaii
Pools in the rainforest

Exploring lava tubes

Hula dancers preparing for the Merrie Momarch festival in Hilo

Sunbathing sea turtles

Tide pools with amazing snorkeling! This is where I got my first sunburn :(

Perfect spot for a picnic

So much fresh fruit everywhere!

Climbing a banyan tree

Halama'uma'u crater steaming inside Kilauea Caldera. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Unfortunately it decided to take a holiday so we didn't get to see any fresh lava. 

Loving the ocean!

We still have 5 days left in paradise before heading back to the real life. This makes me incredibly happy to be where I am!
