Tonia Nesbitt wants to cycle ever faster.
The Whanganui woman likes to be fit and she did triathlons for seven years. This season she's focused on cycling, which was her strongest discipline in triathlon.
On the first day of the Masters Games in Whanganui she won three gold medals in her 45-49 age group. She was pleased with her time of 32 minutes and 14 seconds over 20km.
Cycling as a sport isn't cheap. She now has three bicycles, for use in time trials, road racing and track cycling. Her coach Ron Cheatley and former Olympic cyclist Gary Anderson set them up for her. The road racing bike alone cost $5000.
For Mrs Nesbitt cycling isn't about transport or recreation - although she enjoys it and likes being outdoors. What she wants is to be fast and faster.
