Proud of UAE race 🇦🇪🥇
A race for those who call UAE home.

I am extremely proud to call UAE my home for the past 8 years. This country has given me so much, even the sport of cycling. I never would have touched a bike if it weren’t for the facilities, infrastructure, people and support that surrounds this sport here.

A great way to end the season with my team @gdrfadubaisport 🏆

And thank you to everyone involved in the organisation of this race.

A new chapter.

Thank you @gdrfadubaisport for the opportunity.

Sometimes in order to grow, you must step outside of your comfort zone. I’m excited for what we can achieve and build together. 🔥

First race of the season with @gdrfadubaisport ❤️‍🔥

It was a nice race with @safiya.alsayegh, around 70km breakaway. 🤝🏽

Time to get some speed back in the coming months, looking forward to getting to work @nocsportsscience

Love to see my teammates also on the podium across different categories. Proud of what we are building! taken in Dubai, United Arab Emirates by @maddyblack_

Let’s be real, training is this heat is not easy. But still beneficial and necessary if you live here 🤷🏼‍♀️

- Find kit that is actually comfortable in 90% humidity. Also; nothing like a new kit day to get you motivated 😎

- Food before & after the ride. I track everything on the food coach app, and get majority of my carbs in before and after training.

- Fuelling on the bike. My go-to’s: OTE soft chews, OTE carb mix, OTE anytime bars, white bread & jam / lotus spread, haribos

- Welcome to 4am alarms. By 9am it is like riding in an oven and maintaining power becomes much harder.

- Get yourself a coach. Having your workout already written removes another decision to make. Of course, listen to your body, but most of the time in this heat, you just gotta get it done. Nobody really feels that amazing in this weather.

- Change your sealant every 2-3 months as it dries up muchhh quicker in this heat, especially if your bike is sitting in the car 🫠
