What was your favourite thing about training for the GWR?
Meeting new Hooper's & working together to achieve a goal.
What was the hardest thing about training for the GWR?
The bruising! I wanted to train more but physically I couldn't always do that!
Why did you want to be part of the record?
The opportunity to break a world record as a team- what an achievement. Was a great challenge!
What was it like on the day? Were you nervous?
I perform a lot, in front of big crowds & I get a little nervous, but the day we were breaking the GWR- I haven't felt nerves like it in many many years. There was a point my legs were shaking with nerves! I just wanted to go well for the team :)
How does it feel to hold the GWR?
It feels quite surreal, such a huge a achievement. I am so proud to have worked with an amazing team . My heart is full!!
