Back to the riding. For those who don’t know, Canada has a pretty successful Women’s Team Pursuit squad, headlined by none other than double Track Cycling World Champ Tara Whitten. As we are nearing the 2012 London Games, and in general to ensure the future longevity of the team, the Canadian Cycling Association has put emphasis on creating a pool of riders that are capable – or near capable – of acting as an alternate in the event that one of the current team pursuit riders needs a time out.
This is where I come in, circling around the 250m track for a week in the hopes of becoming fast enough to train with the team, and maybe, just maybe, one day getting the chance to suit up in red and white and take my own spot on the start line. All good things are best in moderation though, so I relocated to the Santa Rosa area for a few weeks to get in some road training before flying back to L.A. in March. It has been very exciting to have the opportunity to train for the Team Pursuit and I look forward to seeing where this training will take me in the months and years to come.”
