Towards 2012

Beijing has been and gone. Many lessons have been learnt. London 2012 may seem a while away, but for us, the journey has already begun.

This year I have been selected in the Australian Women's Double Scull to compete at the World Rowing Championships in Poznan at the end of August. My partner, Pippa Savage, a fellow Toowoomba girl, made her international debut last year in the Olympic Single Scull. In the past Pippa and I have shared a great rivalry, competing for Australia's Single Scull title, however, not until now have we combined our talents; and it is proving to be a formidible duo.

As we close in on this year's world championships, we are excited about our potential. This weekend we will be racing at Sydney International Regatta Centre alongside our fellow Australian team mates, testing our speed over 2000m and working on consistent performances. At the regatta's conclusion, we will be entering into a four week intensive training camp in Penrith before flying to Verase, Italy for a pre-World's speed camp.

Important Dates:
10th-12th July - SIRC Rowing Australia 'World Cup' regatta
14th-31st July - Penrith Intensive Training Camp
1st-9th August - Australian Rowing Team Preparation Camp
9th August - Fly to Italy
10th-20th August - Pre-World's Speed Camp (Varese, Italy)
23rd-30th August - World Rowing Championships, Poland

Thank you!


I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who has followed my progress throughout the journey to Beijing. It has been long and it has endured its ups and downs, but all has come to an end. I am so appreciative of the support that I received from everybody. Through hero messages, text messages, emails, facebook messages the lot, I honestly had no idea of how many people have been reading this site until I received countless messages of support and congratulations. It has blown me away!
Thank you to those who even went to the effort of organising events including the Toowoomba Downs Club members and my school friends who have made the effort to always keep in touch even though I have always been many many miles away!
