It has been a great year so far for Cycling Australia’s sprinters. The new state of the art gym has opened in the track centre which is nothing short of incredible, training is going well and we are all deep into our winter preparation.
The winter months are always tough for a track cyclist – it’s a mixture of fatigue, brutal training sessions and what feels like a never ending, freezing winter. For me, it was also finding my feet in this new city, getting into university and settling into a routine, as well as making my mark on the Aussie cycling scene in the lead up to RIO 2016.
We all have been training really hard and seeing promising pb’s since we arrived back in Adelaide from the AIS boot camp in April/May. We competed at the Adelaide International Track Series in the last week of May - pretty cool to pull on the CA High Performance Unit kit for the first time. It was great to jump in the deep end with coach Gary West in a competition setting, the added pressure forced me to learn so much more and allowed a great deal of progress to be made. My goals for this competition was to concentrate on the process, work on my weaknesses and create a deeper understanding with my new coach as to how we both work on race day – which we achieved.
BMW Doncaster featured me in their winter magazine which I was completely over the moon about – a very cool yet very odd feeling seeing my face been published in a magazine, which you can get from the Doncaster show room, on google play or in the app store. BMW Doncaster have now become an official sponsor of Blackburn Cycling Club, meaning they have a heavy presence at club events which is another very exciting change over this winter period.
SmashFM as always, have been eagerly supporting my journey as a settle into the professional athlete life over in Adelaide with the High Performance team and am looking forward to catching up for an interview in the near future – so stay tuned!
Another sponsor, Ronde Sports, have been redesigning their range of casual clothes, cycling clothes and merchandise where they have given me the opportunity to be involved at every level in the relaunch process and I am very proud of their new line, which is to be relaunched and ready which has been a really great experience to have been allowed to be a part of.
Apart from that things are going well in the lead up to track season with my first major event being Oceanias which is being held in New Zealand in October - my first chance since joining the squad to do some damage and push for selection in the World Cup circuit leading into the Olympic year!
