always in search of that extra gear


Commonwealth Games January 25, 2006

So, after many weeks of waiting and wondering, the CCA has finally decided my fate for the next few months. I have been sitting and stewing, training and hoping to hear if my partner on the track, Martin Gilbert, and I would be named to the Games Team. Today I got the news I have been waiting for. As I hoped and prayed over the past few months, we made the cut. After personal best rides in LA this past weekend I had done all I could to demonstrate my potential value to the team. Now that I have been selected I have so much motivation to make the most of my dwindling training time. Not that I wasn’t motivated before but, this will add to my allready boiling vat of anticipation for the season to come. Time to get down to business.
