Welcome to my blog! I try to keep this updated with training and racing news as I pursue my Olympic dream.

I would like to thank the Alberta World Cup Society for funding the Academy program. Also, a big thanks to my awesome sponsors and of course my family who have supported me every step of the way!

I'm always looking for new sponsors so if you are interested or know of anyone who might be then contact me at alyssonmarshall(at)gmail.com for my sponsorship package.

New Sponsor: Sodexo Canada!

I am excited to announce Sodexo Canada has signed on as a sponsor through the BC Growing Champions program! Sodexo is a food and hospitality service corporation and they have the food and housekeeping services contracts for the 2010 Olympic Villages in Vancouver and Whistler. A big thank you to Sodexo and Growing Champions for helping me reach my goals!

We have been on snow in Canmore for quite a while now. The man-made loop at the Nordic Centre has been expanded to around 3km. It's fine for intensity and shorter workouts but we have been venturing further afield for longer workouts. Moraine Lake Road in Lake Louise has been good for a while and we had a 3 day camp there a couple weeks ago. I also did some workouts at Mount Shark and a long ski at Elk Pass in Kananaskis. It has been fun exploring different places!

Official racing starts this weekend for me with two Alberta Cup races in Canmore. Here is my schedule for the next little while:

Dec. 5-6: Alberta Cups, Canmore
Dec. 12-13: NorAm/Olympic distance trials, Vernon
Dec. 19-22: NorAm/Olympic sprint and 30km trials, Canmore
Jan. 2-5: World U23 Championship Trials, Val Cartier, Quebec

Ciao,

Alysson
