Personal History
When I was 6 years old my dad got me my first bike, a little PW 50, we started hitting races and I could never get enough. Jumping on a 65 I remember thinking that I would never be good enough to win. Every weekend it seemed to be mid pack and I was not satisfied, until I got my first 80. I started racing the women's class and I was getting better very quickly, winning races almost every weekend. I moved in with my dad which meant I could go to all the races and practice in between. I ended up winning a few plates and moving to the women's B class and eventually the women's A class. I raced one season in women's A missing out on the points lead resulting from a few missed races. In training for the 2007 season I over jumped the finish at our track in Erie and crushed my L1 vertebrae putting me out for months. I stopped racing for 6 years due to financial reasons but now I am back!
Riding Goals
I have tons of goals for next year! Not only do I want to win as many races as possible in the Women's A class but I have started racing other classes to push me to be a better rider. I have raced +30 B, +25 B and C, and even Vet A all so I can be ready for the 250 class. I want to be able to race 250 B with the fastest guys I know! I also have never been to a National race so that is another goal of mine.Throughout this year I have made many lifestyle changes to help me achieve these goals. I have been going to the gym and even have a personal trainer to keep me on track. We have been working on building lean muscle and stamina. Hitting the gym and changing my diet have helped me lose weight as well as being able to handle my bike better and stay out on the track longer. I try to get to practice at least once a week in between races and more now that it is the off season. I have also been riding my bicycle whenever I am able, helping me with my breathing and stamina. Last but not least, every ones #1 goal, to stay healthy and finish every race!
