This place… @burloakcanoeclub ✨🕷
My second home for the past 18 years. The coaches (Adam O, @e.w.huntergeorge, @cloldershaw, Scott O, @larrycaincanoe, @rsarge75 & many others), the training partners, mentors, and friends, the 16-mile creek, the boat bay and weight room, Thursday night war canoe, laps around the parking lot- everything has led me to where I am today.
Grateful is an understatement. This club is a community that goes beyond gold-medal performances. Burloak has created an environment built on teamwork, integrity, honesty, hard work, and friendship. It is a place I am so proud to call my home club.
Between the years of endless summers, and times where I was away more often than not, this club has always been there for me and truly helped me excel in this sport from a young age.
Tie-dying shirts is a long standing tradition, done at the end of the summer with the elementary program. This year, @tessalovv created the BEST t-shirts (#ABL93) for us to dye. I’m so glad I was there to join in on the fun and share a bit of my Olympic experience.
