Well, today I found out that I will not be invited to the development camp or considered for provincial funding - my erg scores are not fast enough yet, regardless of how I did at Nationals and previous time trial regattas.
It is what it is, and I welcome the challenge to put in more quality work into my training so that I can really bring those erg scores down. So far this week I have started to address this with some really great workouts: a mix of erg sessions and strength training exercises, plus Zumba as a new addition to my routine. On the erg I am working on power per stroke, so I think this focus will help bring my erging confidence to the next level.

On another note, at work today I came across a number of colleagues who were taking off for the long week-end, since it's American Thanksgiving. It made me realize that it's important to be thankful for what I have, not just when it's Thanksgiving, but everyday! It is easy to get caught up in the craziness of life. Step back for a second and look at your life. Do you have anything to be thankful for? I am thankful for so much, but most importantly I am thankful for having such an amazing family, group of friends and husband. I am also thankful for the opportunities I have been given at work to build my career, and the time I have to row (my secret therapy, haha).
Take some time to think about what you're thankful for:)
