Huge News: Europa Cup Overall Winner!

Buongiorno friends; in true Italian fashion I’m drinking a cappuccino while I write this post:) We arrived in the Italian alps feeling sharp, coming from an excellent training block + good race results in Germany. The area, Colere, is beautiful, the food is fantastic and the people are great -we felt “at home.” The forecast, we knew beforehand, called for a lot of snow followed by a lot of rain —rain would be typical of spring, not expected in February, but times...

Proud moments

Hi friends, I’m here training in the Netherlands at this state of the art compound with an indoor ski facility where they built a beautiful banked slalom course. It’s pretty awesome, you’re wearing shorts one minute, next you suit up and get inside this “freezer box.”  Super grateful to be here, it’s my 3rd time, and I was thinking I’ve come a long way in snowboarding. I never needed to prove anything to anyone, but since I had my accident, I’ve been...

Making the Best

Howdy folks! Like I mentioned previously, I’m getting ready for my upcoming season.  Hopes are high, the body has been constantly sore, I’m getting in the zone where I’ll be feeling ready.  For sure, with social media these days, you’re always comparing yourself to other athletes. “Oh, these guys are on a training camp doing this & that.” “Oh, that guy already had 50 days of snow training on his belt,” and so forth… Myself? -this is what I have, I train and do...

The hype up to Beijing 

Hello friends, Today I was thinking about the training & racing that happened in Big White, Canada, prior to flying to Beijing for the Paralympics; then thought I would tell the story… My coach Mancha flew in from Portugal and we met in Canada. First days were laser focused for the races at hand (2), which in themselves were incredible. 1st race I got an unexpected 2nd place (!) —anything can happen on Snowboard Cross. That gave me so much confidence for...

Multi Sports Brought Me Here

Hello fellas,I was thinking these past few weeks how I got where I am and how I’m grateful for everything I’ve done, and everyone that help me get here. My trajectory in snowboarding was much shorter than it had been in triathlon, but it was not by chance or out of nowhere. It took work to get there. Just as it took work to get where I got in triathlon, and one thing lead to the other. It takes passion....

PossAbilities MAKES it possible

Hey hey, hope everyone is keeping it together, one day at a time. I would like to take a moment to appreciate Team PossAbilities. I do always appreciate them and also count my blessings. How lucky am I or are us to have them in our lives?! In changing sports, due to the circumstances I was sort of heading into the unknown. Of course I did my homework and had been studying the possibilities if I were to do it. But...

World Paratriathlon Cup Magog – Canada

Greetings fellow readers, this is a great story... it could possibly be my last race as a professional triathlete. I'll still race events for fun, but while getting paid a scholarship from Brazil just to compete, the window is closing where they'll stop paying me, because my category is not in Tokyo 2020. Also because my category is not in, I don't get my travelling and racing fees and hotels paid anymore --gotta pay out of pocket:( I was super excited to...

The Art of Preparation

What is up folks, how is everyone doing? It always amazes me how much goes into preparation for a task... be it a training session, an international triathlon trip or a surf-camping trip with a baby! If you prepare early, the chances of being late or messing something up are smaller -although they still happen! Name it and chances are I already thought ahead and had it all prepared when the time came. I am known to plan things ahead of time --unless...
