Question:
How do you eat an elephant? Answer:
One bite at a time!
2006
was by far one of my longest competitive seasons. It was a lesson
on how to eat an elephant - one bite at a time! Competing
in close to 30 competitions I began with a disappointing performance
at the Commonwealth Games. Stepping back and regrouping I was able
to pull it together, bit by bit, to end with an equaling my personal
best performance at the World Cup in Athens . I truly appreciated
this past season, because I saw myself grow both as a woman and
as an athlete.
