Q&A - Personal

What inspires you to compete?

The love of riding my bike and being outside. I have always been competetive, and been athletic, so after I started riding bikes, it was only a logical progression to start racing. After my race I was hooked, and been so ever since.

Why do you like this sport?

The fun, the freedom, the rush, everything really. It's the only sport where I felt like I fit in. The whole scene with biking has been very fun and welcoming. It can honestly say this sport has enhanced my life in many ways.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

I train as often and efficiently as I can. Over the past few seasons it's been a sometimes difficult balance between school, training and work, but I finaly feel like I am getting the hang of it. Also after racing for 7 years, I know how my body works and what I need to be fast. In the winter's I mix biking and nordic Skiing with a bit of back country snowboarding. I have learned it's important for me to keep things fresh in the off season.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I have known since I began mountain biking that I wanted to become a Professional Mountain bike racer. That is still true today.

How's Life Treating You?

It's awesome!
