Soooo…. I owe you all a big apology! I have not written a blog since Christmas, and A LOT has happened since then! As you probably already know, I am now an Olympic gold medalist from the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler! It is crazy! Very surreal! It’s not that I didn’t think that Kaillie and I could win the race… it’s just that suddenly people now want my autograph and their picture taken with me!! I was also given a key to my hometown city of Summerside! It’s been such an honour to be able to represent not only my country but my province and city as well. It just seems so funny when I really just feel like the same person I’ve always been!
Do not be mistaken… I did not win this medal alone! And although Kaillie was my amazing driver/pilot with whom I won, I am actually referring to all of the people who supported Kaillie and me throughout our entire journey! There are no words that can effectively and accurately describe the depth of our gratitude – family, friends, supporters, sponsors, coaches and trainers, etc. The race was for us! The medal, we won for Canada!
