9 months after having arna baby… this was the day I started to think that maybe I DO want to race a World Cup again!! May 2022.
In June i raced LENZERHEIDE & finished 6th… 1 year later 2023 i raced LENZERHEIDE again & won a bloody World Cup 🤗❤️❤️❤️🍾 little steps can sometimes turn into big moments!

2 days filming with @redbullbike for Race Tapes series2….
Felt Pretty strange to suddenly switch back on my “world cup” racer brain after a few months out of the loop! 🤪
I’m so grateful to be able to tell my personal mum story…..
even if it is super hard to juggle it all, mums can do anything we WANT to do, that is the KEY I have realised the last 2 years….
What do you WANT to do…
not feel pressured or expected to do. Listen to your instincts, always!
❤️❤️❤️🌈🌈🌈

My cover of @mbukmagazine this month 🥰🥰 this was shot back in May when I had just started thinking about racing the first World Cup…
I had no idea i would win it!
The last 2 years since arna was born have been such a rollercoaster, only now I’m getting more sleep can I look back & see it all a bit more clearly 😂
having Arna has been the greatest joy I’ve ever experienced, hard, yes, but perfect.
Thanks MBUK 🥰 @stevebehr0 & Tym Manley
( I so so so regret not putting loads of makeup on & putting more effort into this shoot I look like a rag 😂 )
