Women's Individual Time Trial Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games |
My new home after the Oceania Championships was Europe where I raced with my professional cycling team. I call Europe home for eight racing fuelled months of the year and conquered picturesque countries like Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and Sweden.
This year I had the honour of being selected to represent Australia at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow! I didn’t achieve the result I was expecting as I was placed 6th in my event. Although I was disappointed with my result in my race, I still learnt a lot of valuable lessons throughout the experience. It was really special being able to represent my country and I was so proud to be wearing my green and gold. Also, knowing there were so many people back home in Australia watching you and cheering you on made it all the more special to me.
I was also selected to race the World Championships in Spain, but unfortunately had to pull out because of a fractured wrist in a crash that happened racing a six-day Tour in Holland.
At the moment I'm getting my strength training up, taking my USANA supplements of course and getting a good strong base for my 2015 cycling season!
I can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store for me!
