Women's Keirin from left: 2nd Brei Gudsell, 1st Me, 3rd Jennifer Wilson Sunday 25 January, was not just a day to test how good you were on the track, but to test how you could handle an extremely hot day with a lot of waiting around.
The Champs kicked off at 10am in Wanganui and concluded at 7pm with the team for the track nationals being announced.
As the champs were 5 weeks out from the track nationals I had done just under 3 weeks training, so didn’t have sizzling form, but did enough to achieve a win in the Sprint and Keirin and place 2nd in the 500m TT competing in the Women’s category.

Five years ago, I thought I was too old to ever ride the track again, so at 44 years to be selected to compete in the elite women's category at the National Track Cycling Championships and last year to have won a bronze medal there in the Women's Sprint, is beyond what I ever thought was possible.
So if you have a burning desire inside to do something, not trying is far worse than taking the opportunity regardless of whatever the outcome may be!
