I won the silver medal in the Individual pursuit in a time 5 seconds faster than any other New Zealander has ever ridden and the 5th fastest time ridden by any junior in the world ever.

Goals:

After winning two medals, becoming a junior world track cycling champion and achieving to the highest mark as a junior I have had to set myself new goals and ambitions. As I go into the senior ranks this year my goals have become much more long term, I don't want to settle for one rainbow jersey (world title) I want more, and not just one more. I want to achieve at the highest level as a senior and become World and Olympic Champion. In the short term I will be working towards achieving these goals through training and racing in New Zealand and Europe.
