Emma Smith 3rd in Costa Rica!
December 11th 2009
Congratulations to Prohab athlete Emma Smith who whilst still an amateur, and working fulltime for a law firm, won 3rd place in the gruelling La Ruta. What did it involve?
In Emma’s own words:
“Came 3rd in La Ruta after an Olympian and top South American pro mountain biker. Over 27 hours of riding through tropical rainforest, up/down volcanoes, river crossings in very hot, humid conditions. Loved it!”
Not bad for someone who has to train in mid winter living in a city where there are no mountains! We knew Emma was special when we took her on.
Emma has racked some very impressive race results as an amateur. So impressive she has decided to bin law and turn pro! Love that! As you read this Emma will be talking part in a training camp in New Zealand in preparation for a storming 2010 season and we will be supporting her all the way. Stay tuned.
