Which one was most significant?: I don't have one that stands out more than the others, i just love to race so if i have given the race my all than i am happy. 

Best/Worst crash ever: Suprisingly, i have only had one crash which was this year in France, i was behind
my team mate Bianca and she had no where to go and fell and i fell straight into her.
It was quite funny, so i guess it was my best and worst crash ever. 

Goals for the future: I want to go to the 2014 Olympics. Win the World Championships Speed Skating. Be the best of the best

Favourite party drink: Jim Beam but a bit of Jagermeister is always a bit of fun, especially with Team Gold Rush and the Dutchies.

Pastimes: When im in Australia, I love to go to the beach, Hang out with Claire and friends, 
Shop and spend time with Lozzie :)  Poker nights, Partying, Eating BBQ's....
In Holland, Road trips to World Cups singing I love to have a beer with Duncan,
Ribs In Meppel, Nights in Amsterdam, Hanging with my team mates.... 
If you could be friends with anyone in the world who would it be?:
I couldn't ask for any better friends than the ones i got :)....

Reasons why you love/hate/just like training with Des?: LOVE- She is an awesome person to be around, funny, positive and pretty much a mum to me.... The training group i have is so positive and fun to train with, Des is always bringing new, positive people to the group to make it stronger than ever... HATE- ....Maybe when Des laughs at you if your going slow and having a bad day... Though i recently found out that the HATE came into the relationship when she makes us do many 1k's :)
