Introducing Laura Yoisten |
|||
Residence and Home Town: Calgary, Alberta, Canada Years Racing: 7 Years on Webcor: 1 Top reason for joining Webcor: At first I was a little nervous to join such a prestigious stage race team, but this winter, I stepped up my training and pushed myself to go out into the mountains and suffer. I think Webcor will force me to step up my game and I am ready for the challenge. |

My first international competition was at the 2001 Junior Road and Track World Championships. I developed through the sport and had a breakthrough year in 2004 when I raced on the National Development Team in multiple international events achieving results above expectations. In 2005 I completed my first full road season, competing in many NRC races, the Pan American Championships in Argentina, and several road world cups. Through 2006, I raced with the Victory Brewing Cycling Team, where I was able to capitalize on my strength as a road sprinter and win multiple events. My off-season consists mainly of a six week block where I fit in an entire year of work, as a porter at a hospital in Calgary, usually in the months of October and November, to cover the rest of the year’s excursions. This off season, I had an extra exciting week where I planned my wedding and married my best friend of 15 years, Ryan McKenzie, in just five days. Top results of 2006: Top career results: |
