Dickerson Maryland

I am off to a new land!
Dickerson Maryland is the new destination. You may be asking, what brings Aj too the states?

Well, in fact I am racing at the US National Championships next weekend. I have never actually been to the Dickerson whitewater course before so it's an exciting time for me! Nothing like the rush of a new course. With the grant movie done, my full year movie finally almost complete, and on top of all that work my homework, this new journey is giving my brain a break from work! Time for a nice relaxing 10 and a half hour car ride....WITH FOUR OTHER WOMEN! This is going to be horrendous! Thousands of pee breaks, none stop talking, and of course horrible music.
I guess its just something I have to deal with myself,

I heard there is snow in Alberta....Ew.


Hope alls well,

Aj

One more

Today is my last day in Calgary for another adventure!
This time I am going to Ottawa (again) but then after only a short week in Ottawa, I am off to Dickerson Washington for US national championships with the Ottawa river runners team!
I will also hopefully be training with the national team down there if Michael, Alexandra, and Rachel are the only ones from the team then that would be fine as well.

Thank goodness that this is the last time I have to uproot myself for a couple of months. But this is going to be a good one. I even get three races!
I get a Valleyfield race, a pumphouse race, and the US nationals.
This is going to be awesome!

Despite the weather, my hopes are up and I am still smiling,
Hope everyone else is as well.
