Going to the Paralympics is amazing. It is an hounour to be here [and] it's the highest level you can get to for our sport. So it shows me that I have already achieved some what of a high level just my being here but I can still go further in competing for a gold and defending my Beijing bronze.
My dad's originally from London and my husband's Welsh so I have some family over here so it's the closet thing I'll get to competing in a home town and I'm proud to be doing it as a Australian team member. I'm also looking forward to bettering all my races from Beijing and racing on new equipment such as my time trial bike given to be by Claire McLean. In Beijing I raced on a normal road bike for the road time trial. The goal is 4 medals the realistic goal is probably 3 medals.

The paralympics is a dream I have had for a long time, it represents the best of the best competing for gold. It is what I have been training for, it is the pinnacle of elite para-cycling.
How did you feel when you made the team?
I was so ecstatic. I was also a little relieved as it meant that I could focus on the next goal... winning gold!
What are you looking forward to most about London?
I cannot wait to compete in my favourite event the 3000m Individual Pursuit on the first day of competition. I also am really excited to be a part of the best disabled athletes in the world, I can't wait to meet as many people as I can.
