The Australian National Mountain Bike Champion for XC and Short Track is in Park City! Katherine O'Shea is getting in some altitude training for World Cup and preparing for the Olympics. Australia only has 1 spot. Katherine & one other woman will be close, UCI points wise, to making the Olympic team, so she is doing all she can to perform her best at World Cup this year to get the spot.

She raced at Deer Valley a few weeks ago, but I didn't get a chance to talk to her much. So the other day when I was on a ride I ran into her (photo #1) and we finished our ride together. We planned a road ride (on mountain bikes-she doesn't have her road bike here) and lunch for Friday. It was so fun talking to her and getting to know how a World Cup/Potential Olympian trains. She made an amazing (and super healthy) lunch and we chatted bikes and family while my toddler played with the dog. I'm so thrilled to have a new friend and inspiration!
