The journey began early on Monday morning at Palmerston North Airport, from which we travelled to Christchurch and then onto our final destination Invercargill which would be our home for the next week. The whole WCNI group was staying at the Birchwood Manor Motel.

On Monday once at the motel we got settled into our rooms, I was staying in a room with my dad. We then built up our bikes and got ready for our first ride on the indoor velodrome of the week. This is always an exciting part of cycling as the indoor boards are so much faster than the likes of the Feilding concrete velodrome that we did all our training on!

On Tuesday, after a good training session in the morning we were straight into the racing! My first event of the week was the 500m time trial, this event requires a good start and the strength to carry on your top speed over the full 2 laps. This was not my strongest event as I am not built for the short events, but it was still good to be in the atmosphere of it all. I finished this event with a personal best so I was happy even though I was nowhere near a podium position.
