Tory, the Austalian


Moravec is a town near the World Cup course in Nove Mesto Na Morave. We stayed in these great cabins that overlooked a beautiful little pond. Most of the 8 cabins were filled with World Cup racers but the only English speaking racers were right next door to us. It was Pete who manages Trek Australia and his athlete, Tory. My first question to her was if she knew Katherine O’Shea (Katherine is also from Australia, lived in Park City for the summers of 2011 and 2012 to train, you can find multiple posts about her during those times.  Including the one where she took me to the hospital and ended up having to leave me there for 4 days!). Tory and Katherine are good friends and I figured out why immediately. Tory is solid and hilarious and an all around great person. She is just a little bit younger than I am and has a two year old boy. We immediately bonded over raising a young child and being a professional mountain bike racer.
