Like many of our guests, Justine Barrow found her way to cycling after an injury sidelined her from running. What make’s Justine’s story so unique was that it was at age 35, and almost 10 years later she still feels like a relative “newbie” in the gravel racing scene. Her results however would suggest that she is far from that; as the 2023 Australian National Gravel Champion, Justine has also grabbed wins this year at a UCI Gravel Series event as well as Gravel Locos. She started her racing career on the road, but found that she was drawn more toward the adventure and thrill of gravel racing. Justine is a physiotherapist back home in Australia, and runs a clinic that employs over 20 people. She talks about how she manages racing, travel, and running a business; and also gives a few tips on how to sharpen up your climbing chops if hills aren’t your thing just yet.
