8th Elimination

Racing for Rocky Mountain/PowerBar, I competed in the Burnaby Velodrome event this past weekend posting some great results against a competitive field of men and women from all over the US and Canada. Despite fighting off a mild flu, it proved to be a great opportunity to test out my legs prior to the first World Cup in February. The name of the event was "Mass Start Madness", so the weekend provided plenty of group racing with distances ranging from 5km to 20km and up to 20 riders on the track at one time battling it out for the win. Everyone finished the weekend with extremely tired legs having put in approximately 200km on the track over the 3 days.

I will now have 4 more weeks to build on this fitness as I prepare for the Track World Cup in Moscow, Russia, February 13-15 where I will be representing the Tim Hortons Canadian National Team. This will be the first of 4 World Cups that will act as both qualifiers for the World Championships and the 2004 Olympic Games.

I'll continue to keep everyone posted of all progress and results.
