Team Bouffy hit a huge milestone this Spring - we were named to the Canadian Senior National Team! When I say "Team Bouffy", I'm talking about myself and any person who has ever supported me, sponsored me, given me a high five, coached me, encouraged me, given birth to me, fathered me, given me waxing advice, fed me, billeted me and really anyone who has given me a little push along this wonderful journey. The fact that cross country skiing is an individual sport is misleading. There is so much that has happened behind the scenes of my ski career, especially in the last 5 years , that has contributed to this nomination onto the National Team.
It has been amazing to have people believe in me and in my goals. My supporters' generosity is sometimes overwhelming and definitely humbling. It's hard for me to express exactly how much the support means to me. It serves as a big dose of motivation and I never feel like I'm climbing this mountain alone!

I still get excited each time I remind myself I'm part of the team. This is a goal I've had for a loooong time, and now it's proof that I've been moving in the right direction. I'm really looking forward to what we can accomplish as a nation this coming year and I will do my absolute best to do the maple leaf proud!
Thanks again to everyone who made this possible! Cheers to this milestone!
