Pre Easter Update from Sarah Walker
23 March 2010
Been training hard, getting faster and jumping some big jumps lately. Been doing personal bests in the gym and jumping guys pro sections. Looking forward to going overseas to test out the international competition!
Also, jumped out of a plane, went white water rafting, swung off the top of the gondalas at Rotorua and did some luging - all for a bit of fun (not that BMX isn't fun enough already!).
My brother finally talked me into going with him up into the forrest to try out downhill. This lead to me going down to Wellington 2 days later for the National Mountain Bike Championships to race dual slalom, 4x and downhill, returning with a national #1 in 4x and national #2 in dual slalom and downhill!
BMX Nationals are coming up next weekend (Easter Weekend) in Pukekohe which should be a fun weekend. After that, we're only around for about 10 days before heading overseas to Holland, Italy, Denmark then USA for training and racing.
Denmark will be the first taste of proper international competition since I broke my hand over 7 months ago so will be interesting to see where I'm at and make changes to my training before taking everyone on again in July at the World Champs in Peitermaritzburg, South Africa.
Will update how the trip is going while I'm overseas and hopefully, I bring you good news.
Thanks for your continuing support,
Sarah
