There haven’t been too many races on down here lately so I just thought I would check in and let you all know what I have been doing.  

Last Sunday I went off to the AIS in Canberra for the Women’s Motorcycling Training Camp put on by Motorcycling Australia, who gave this opportunity to twelve girls from around Australia. This was one of the best experiences I’ve have had and found it to be a very important step, not only in my motocross career but also growing into a professional. We went through Core Strength, General Conditioning, Recovery, Nutrition, Training Plans, Media, Sponsorships, Sports Psychology, and a number of other areas including having out bodies fully evaluated and tested by the staff at the AIS. The things that I’ve learnt have already been implemented into my training and I hope to get back there next year to be re tested and see how much I have progressed in my fitness.

With the next round of the Aussie Titles only a few weeks away, I’m heading up to Lakes this weekend to take part in a club day and continue my training for the 25th of May in Newry.

Anyway that’s all for now, thanks for all the support everyone. Talk soon! J
