Lisa Rosan is new to cycling and she has achieved really great results in such a short time. She has a great infectious enthusiasm for cycling. And... I’m thinking that she’ll do really well on the track and settle with it after trying many of the cycling disciplines. On the back of attending the RaceRight Cycling Camp she takes out a C Grade win at Darebin Velodrome. Here is her account of her recent win. Congratulations Lisa!

Startline - I pulled up to the fence right at the back, just enough time to not hear 90% of the starting instructions except that bit about at 4 laps to go you can stay at the front. Lucky I did, 4 laps to go, I was at the front, took the half lap as offered for free and watched the bike pull off. Got a bit surreal then, could hear a bit of pedalling behind, puffing and panting. No-one came around or offered to lead me out so with 2 laps to go thought I'd better pick it up a bit & try and stave off the hordes. Tried some stuff from Brendan's training/flogging and jumped. I think I jumped at least, not sure if the acceleration counted as a jump or maybe just a twitch. Still no-one coming around me.. Bugger them, went faster, Bell lap, Vo2 max, last bend, could hear some panting over my right shoulder. Faster still, the bugger wouldn't give me a ride so not giving him a win. Finish line. Yippee. Panting man wheezed out something like "good race" and I picked up a cheer from fellow bumblebees (Hawthorn riders) Trev & Spinny lined up for C grade. Lisa Rosan.
