Iron Man 70.3 World Champs 2019

As most of you know, I have fallen deeply in love with triathlon over the past year and a half and I plan to go further with my achievements in 2019  - but I need some help!

In 2018, I trained my heart out and competed in 18 events. I tried a little bit of everything ranging from half marathons, full marathons and a 50k ultra in the dessert to a tri-it distance, sprint and olympic distance triathlons. 

For my first big year of racing I did fairly well. I managed to squeak out a few podium finishes and come in at least the top 5 in 90% of the events I competed in. I've got a little taste of success and I can't be stopped now.

My goals for 2019 have been set. I am booked to compete in 3 Half Iron Man races. The events take place in Victoria, BC, Couer D' Alene, Idaho and here in my home town  - Calgary Alberta.  All three events are qualifiers for the 2019 Half Iron Man World Championships in Nice, France. This is the ultimate goal for 2019. I will need to place in the top  three in my age group in at least one of the three races to qualify for the Worlds in France!

The training plan will be long , tough and expensive but I am committed to making this happen! Its going to take every dime I have to make it to France.  That's where you come in .. any support you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

All funds raised would go to supporting the following items:
-Equipment & gear maintenance/upgrades
-Professional coaching by Canadian certified triathlon coaches through 3433 Sports Performance Centre in Calgary, AB
-Travel expenses for qualifying events **Please note: I will be driving to all events in Canada and the US and will be camping/staying with my parents to keep costs down.
- Travel expenses to Nice, France if qualification is successful. 

I am open to discussing arrangements with those of you who own small business for promotion of your products and services. I can help with your digital advertising and/or social media presence as long as I don't overlap with any partner agreements I have with my current team - Betty Designs. 

For those who are able to contribute, I will be creating some fun gift/swag bags as a THANK YOU for your support. I'll also send out detailed status updates throughout the training and racing season to keep everyone up to date on my progress.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. Looking forward to  an epic year ahead.
