Hey everyone,
Well today marks the first day of the Melbourne World Cup. The Aussie team and I have been here for a few days now and have settled in nicely, as you would expect at our home world cup.
The standard of competitors here matches that of a World Championship for the Women's Sprint division with the top 8 from this years worlds lining up in each event. This is pretty full on and reflective of the fact that everyone wants to get early points for Olympic Qualification.
Tonight I line up in the rainbow jersey for the Team Sprint with Emily Rosemond, we had a reasonable performance for our first ride together last week and I am sure we will be better for it tonight. I'd really like to make the final so I will have to pull my finger out in the first lap!
This morning I was a guest interviewee on the radio station SEN, which was really cool. It was nice talking to the boys and I really enjoyed it a lot. Yesterday I also did a fair amount of media, and doing some photos for a great sponsor of the team in Wattbike and also donning the new team Jayco AIS kit - which is very cool. I will endeavour to get as many photos up as I can over the next few days!
Wish me and Emily good luck tonight everyone! Stay in tune for updates everyday!
