I'm sitting at a small cafe in Amstelveen, about 8k from Amsterdam and not far from the airport and it's giving me time to reflect on the 2nd World Cup that I raced over the last 2 days. I certainly can't be unhappy with a Gold and a Silver, but I do have take aways [...]
I am sitting in a little AirBnB Bungalow in the rural community of Erm in the Netherlands, having arrived yesterday after about 27 hours of travelling. I stayed at the same place last year when I was travelling around with Hannah Dines of GB. I'm on my own this year but only until I meet [...]
After coming back from Europe and the first World Cup of the year it was back to training, training and more training for me. That is until my niece sent me a message and asked if she could come for a visit. That was definitely not something I could ever say no to, even if [...]

With the International racing season about to begin, with the first World Cup race in May, my training has picked up quite a bit with more kilometres every week and strength sessions in the gym. I’m tired but I know that in the long run it is what is needed to get faster and stronger. [...]
‘You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. Do the thing you think you cannot do.’ ~ Eleanor Roosevelt How many times do you not attempt to change something or try something new because, the fear of failure, the fear you may look [...]
As this new year seems to fly by (I can't believe we are into February already!) I realised that life got so busy and I hadn't done a blog in a very long time. So thought I had better put my fingers to the keyboard and talk about not only my last year but to [...]
What an amazing week I have had and it all revolved around women! I certainly didn’t plan it this way but I think it was the world’s way of giving me a message. This week I learnt that as women we must celebrate our accomplishments, be happy with who we are in body and soul [...]
