Never give up! Your time will come, and some days will be hard, but the good days will be unforgettable.

Sometimes there are setbacks, and you just have to sit back and see what needs to be done to ensure you get where you need to be and achieve what you want.

I really am living my dream at the moment, and am just keeping focused on enjoying the journey and taking it one moment at a time.

I was actually very calm and just focused on what I had to do and how I had to execute the race, so I think that was a really good thing – learning how to manage the nerves.

It’s a big step up. The hard work is only starting now, and I love all the new challenges coming my way and I am learning a lot from each challenge.
