Join Scott's Team for Kona
Donation protected
My name is Scott Dickie and I am a teacher, triathlete, and former hockey player. If you're here, you are considering becoming a part of our team in Kona on October 11, 2014.
First off what is Kona and what does it mean to me?
Kona is home of the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii. It was watching Kona on NBC that drew me to triathlon! After playing hockey I changed from in shape to a shape. I wasn't happy and my physical condition had a lot if not everything to do with it. So started my journey to get back into shape through triathlon. After doing an Olympic distance race I was hooked and the following year did 4 half Ironmen. It was that season (2011) that I went to Ironman Canada to volunteer, and watching that race I knew what my next challenge was. I signed up Ironman Mont Tremblant. My first Ironman was a learning experience and I was happy to finish in 10 hours and 7 minutes. But like everything I do I want to be the best I can be and that meant qualifying for Kona. So I signed up for Tremblant again, but a combination of things left me under prepared and I suffered last year. So this year I had a new outlook on life and training and it truly paid off. This year in Tremblant I executed the best race I could have, I left it all out there, and I was rewarded with a time of 9:41 and a spot in the big dance that is Kona.
Now Tremblant wasn't possible without the support of my family and some great sponsors (Ciclo Werks, Flow Health and Wellness, Altra Zero Drop, and CEP Canada). So leading up to Kona I wanted to try something different and use Crowd Funding to support my journey.
So why crowd funding?
I want to offer something unique and different. Each and everyone of you will be my sponsors and take part in my journey. My plan is to take you along the way with me. I wish I could take you all to Hawaii, but you will get daily updates and pictures along the way.
What's in it for you?
With a donation of any amount you will receive daily updates through an exclusive to our team. Also depending on your donation you will also receive some great opportunities from some of my sponsors. I am also going to be coaching some athletes next year and through your donation we can work together to create a plan to achieve your goals!
