About Me:: vibrant & lively, friendly, fun & easy-going, thoughtful & resourceful, live life to the fullest. I love sports, dancing, languages, travelling, FOOD in general, especially extremely fond of ethnic food - sushi, thai, indian, greek, mexican, italian, lebanese & others. I would say eating is my livelihood :-)

I'd most like to meet people from (separate multiple locations with commas):: around the world... more exciting that way!

My Tri Story:: endurance sports were never my thing... but enjoy the multisports nature of tri training. Did 2 sprints & 1 olympic distance prior to my first IM this summer in Nice, France. Had a great experience and decided to stick to it for now.... Looking forward to 70.3 Oceanside, Cozumel IM next year and maybe Brazil in 2010.

At 8:35am on November 17, 2008, Matt Sturgis said…: Thank you, and best of luck

At 1:27am on November 17, 2008, Jessi Stensland said…: thanks so much kartika - i'll definitely keep it in mind!! i bet its beautiful up there...

At 6:26pm on November 16, 2008, Scott said…: Thanks for the Canmore link. The responses from the participants were raving! It sounds like a beautiful setting - one I'd like to check out. I haven't ever been in an event with only150 participants. Any idea when it sells out? I'd like to put in on my list of potential races, but would like to wait to commit.

At 1:34pm on November 16, 2008, Scott said…: Doing some training together in SoCal would be great. Do you like open ocean swimming? I'll be travelling most of December so January is best for me.

At 12:55pm on November 16, 2008, Scott said…: P.S. - I will be in Park City this winter, at least through the end of January. I've got new project in Pensacola, FL that may start in February, but it's not for sure yet. If it goes, I'll be spending a lot of time there. I also spend time in SoCal - mostly Laguna Beach and San Diego. Let me know if you want to come and check out the slopes in Park City. We can show you all the locals powder stashes on the mountain.

At 12:43pm on November 16, 2008, Scott said…: Hi Kartika - It's been about 10 years since if been in the BC mountains. I still remember it as the most beautiful back country I've ever seen. Thanks for the info on the BC races. I've got the Kona 70.3 IM the same weekend as the Calgary Marathon, but the tris may fit into my schedule in June and August. I'll see if I can find info on them on the web. Thanks again and have a great winter!

At 2:54am on November 16, 2008, Jessi Stensland said…: hi Kartika - i've actually done a bunch of races all over canada in the past. only as far north as edmonton though - never calgary! i would love to head back up there...

At 8:33pm on November 15, 2008, Kathy said…: Yes, maybe Brazil in 2010! I'm definately going to add some international stuff in 2010, so we'll see! I'll watch your races too!

At 8:06pm on November 15, 2008, Kathy said…: Thank you for the incredibly moving comments! I am so sorry to hear about your father....life transitions can be so hard, and cause us to cherish so much living to the fullest every moment, recording all the tender and exhilerating moments in our heads for the years to come.....I love that you took such a marvelous trip, and I absolutely adore the pics! Love the idea of such artsy pics while the body is still so serving...maybe I'll take a note from your book and do that before my 1/2IM in July, but before the next birthday...thank you so much for your inspiring comments. You win that award of the day! :)
