I'm quoting that before you can edit it away :P
Yeah, I guess I was taking it seriously, though without proper coaching, for maybe 5-6 years. I started archery again when I moved to Melbourne but then gave it up once the racing took over my
Sundayslife. I did lots of reading and question asking so I like to think I have a bit of knowledge about what I should be doing but really I used to go out and ride hard all the time. Got Carl to focus my efforts in '05. Then left Oz and started competitive drinking after 4 months cycle touring.I was always an active kid and I've always been a cyclist and competitive since I was a kid. I really wish I had started BMX racing when I was 6 like a wanted to. Feckin' parents and their feckin' poorly bank balances!
I did get into triathlon in the earlier days as well but back then I was more into archery. Cycling was just for getting to/from school (as fast as possible).
