OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL WINNING CYCLIST SARA CARRIGAN WAS STILL RIDING DAY BEFORE DUE DATE
THERE isn’t much that stops Olympic cycling gold medallist Sara Carrigan in her tracks, except perhaps her beautiful bundle of joy Bobbi Kay Sing.
The healthy 3.7kg (8lb 2oz) baby girl was born on June 8, but the Mermaid Beach cycling coach said she was riding a bike up until a day before her due date.
“It was just up to Broady (Broadbeach) and back for an appointment because I didn’t have a car, it was only 4km,” Ms Carrigan said.
She said having a child with husband Stevo Sing changed her life.
“It’s a total change, I can’t believe it’s been three weeks already. Sometimes I find myself just staring at her (Bobbi),” she said.
Ms Carrigan, 34, said she would enjoy getting back in the saddle to coach cycling workshops.
“I am looking forward to it,” she said.
“But right now it’s not too bad because it is winter and I don’t have to get up when it’s cold.”
She said she has left her husband in charge of taking the early morning cycling classes.
“It’s nice to wake up early and see the sun rise when you cycle,” Mr Sing said.
“The classes meet up at different locations before we find some good hills.”
