In My Own Words
I spend my off-season: Core training, Pilates, nordic skiing.
My goals and expectations for 2009 are:(1) Have fun (2) stay healthy (3) race hard (4) be energy efficient.
I started racing because:Racing motivates me to train, training keeps me fit and cycling is just great excercise.
My cycling mentors and/or influences are:Debbie Dust, Team Kenda Tire.
I consider my finest moment on the bike to be:Double Bong 40K TT. I managed a sub-hour for my first TT on my TT bike despite being exhausted from having worked all night.
The on thing I’ve done on a bike that I will never do again:Spend the entire race at the front only to fold at the end.
