Q&A - Competition

How did you get started?

My first Competion was the Wicklow big Boat Bonanza in 2004. I had just turned 14 and it was first time on a class 4 rapid! I practised all day and was super pumped for the race. Anyway I ended up missing my heat because I was in awe watching the seniors blast down!

List your competitive highlights:

1st Junior Freestyle Nationals 06 Competing in the Worlds 07 1st Junior Colligan Games BoaterX 08 5th in Irish team trials 48th In 2009 World Championships 1st Sluice Rodeo Dublin 3rd Senior Team Clare Glens Invitational 09 6th Irish Squad Trials 09

What are you planning for next season?

Compete at home and train hard. Secure my place in Irish team again and win the Clare glens extreme race. Heading to the States for the summer, don't know where yet but somewhere kayak related!

What has been your biggest accomplishment?

So far.. Winning my first senior rodeo and placing 48th in World Champs 09 age 18.
