Who
My name is Joanne Fox and you’re visiting my online training journal.
With inspiration drawn from my Uncle Doug, I decided to tackle my first IronMan on August 26th, 2007. That race provided me with a very rich experience and a couple years worth of training filled with motivation, comradery, hard work, and major achievements.
In 2006, I trained for a half-ironman. Since I was completely new to the world of triathlons I joined the Leading Edge triathlon club. My two goals for 2006 were: 1) to complete the Victoria Half Ironman and 2) to register myself in the 2007 Ironman race in Penticton. I achieved those goals, made some really great friends, and exceeded all my expectations. It was an awesome year.
In my spare time, I go on dog walks with Penney and I like to play squash against Torbin. When I’m not training, I teach and work at UBC. This blog is a space for me to track my workouts, to ramble on about the stories that go along with these days, and to connect with others.
I’m someone who likes new technology, thinks science is cool, and loves sport. I use this blog as an opportunity to dabble with the web (which is why the look of this site changes often). In my work, I get to play with technology and science. You can think of me as, “one of the fittest geeks you know.”
