2018 was my first year as an under 16 rider, my first riding for Liv CC Halo Films, and a season where I had to battle against Exercise Induced Laryngeal Obstruction.
Fair to say it limited my ability to train and compete, and at times it would have been so easy to have simply given in… but who wants an easy life 🙂
Despite EILO and all that went with it, I still had some great times on the bike, memorable times with lovely friends, learnt an awful lot, and had a few results along the way that I was pleased with.
To win the South Region Omnium series, and to round off a tough year with a top 10 in the Pembrey National, whilst not a podium, made me extremely proud.
Thank you to everyone who supported and helped me get through a very hard year.
