Pace on Earth

The Distance

My cousin Jane (2nd girl from left, first girl facing the camera) bought her ticket to her Olympic dream today with a win at an Olympic qualifier in Poland. She and her 8 teamates in the Canadian Women's 8 boat beat The Netherlands to the line and therefore qualified for Beijing along with them.

This is a huge step on the road to fulfilling her dream. Now that they've secured their spot they can focus on training for this even specifically in the hopes their performance can complete dream sequence. In the meantime I hope she keeps us posted on her diary at the Globe - www.theglobeandmail.com/blogs/WbBeijing.

I'm not sure how you can measure how big of a CONGRATULATIONS I want to extend to her but here's hoping that there will be an even bigger on in store for August.

We are very proud of you here in NB Jane,

Si
