Lots has happened in the last 6 months, so here is a quick, 30 second update.
After crashing at the track in T-Town in August ’06 and fracturing my shoulder, I was unable to compete at the Canadian National Championships. I spent a frustrating fall rehabbing and getting back into shape. This frustration just fuelled my passion to compete at the highest level possible. That brings me to the most exciting news: I’m racing on the newly formed UCI professional track team: Team R.A.C.E. (www.teamrace.com), powered by Planet Energy (www.planetenergy.ca) I’ve already competed in my first world cup in Los Angeles (Jan 19-21) [see attached photo of me competing in the Pursuit in L.A.] and am getting ready to go to Manchester for World Cup # 4 (Feb 23-25).
Also, I’ll be making my radio debut TODAY at 1:30 pm on the Nationally syndicated CBC radio show “Inside Track”. Tune in to CBC Radio One between 1:30 and 2:00 to hear my honest and candid diary of my adventures at my first World Cup competition in L.A. The diary is preceded by a studio interview with host Robin Brown. If you miss today’s show, you can listen to it online starting Monday at: http://www.cbc.ca/insidetrack/highlights/c.html Enjoy!!
Talk soon!

Hi Julia – Just wanted to say congrats on making it to the World Cup scene, that’s awesome and I wish you all the best in Manchester! Maybe we’ll bump into each other at a race in Ontario.

Hi Petrina,
Great to hear from you! So, you living in Oakville now? Still racing? Thanks for the encouragement. Keep in touch and I hope to see you around.
Julia 😉
