Transformation

As the world's eyes have turned to Egypt these last few weeks, I've been blown away by the outpouring of concern, well wishes and congratulations many of you have shared with me on behalf of my home country.  And I sincerely thank each of you for your support, your thoughts and your prayers.

January 25, 2011, is a day that will go down in Egypt's history - a day that most thought impossible, but the strength and tenacity of Egyptians have proven them wrong.  That same character and drive is what has made Egypt the truly great nation that it is today -- with a rich history and story that has inspired the world.

At a time when Egypt is undergoing this critical transition, I'm all the more determined - and proud - to be representing my country in the sport of triathlon, and all the more dedicated to doing what it takes to be Egypt's first triathlete to compete at the Olympic Games.

Never before have I trained so hard and been so singularly focused on the goal at hand, and like any Egyptian, I know that nothing is impossible.

Thanks again for your continued support, and stay tuned for more updates o.n. the road to the Olympics...

Vlog #4: o.n. holiday in Switzerland

Hey gang,

Here's a new Vlog for you, just in time for the gloom and mid-winter drear of February! I had the opportunity to sneak away for a few days for some much needed R+R with some friends. I am totally recharged, and completely refocused for the season ahead. I hope you enjoy the Vlog and I think you might even recognize where I am, based on the landmark behind me.

More Vlogs to come and some exciting news in the next couple days about my training and racing in 2011.

The road to the Olympics is o.n.
