Quick fire

I have three moves that I do on rotation based on Tina Turner’s . The last time I did it was at Daisyfinal. The Mashed Potato. Dancing! I am more exhausted training five hours a day for than training for any other endurance event. Because there’s a whole lot more emotions attached to it. In my first couple of weeks of training, Kerre Woodham gave me a pep talk after rehearsals one day. She told me I needed to shut out the negative thoughts about myself... the self-doubt, the “I can’t do this, I’m going to look ridiculous.” She said, “You actually have to try and park those feelings because they’re not helpful and waste your energy.” We’d love to do a TV series travelling around New Zealand in a campervan doing adrenaline-junkie activities. We had the idea before Bradley Walsh and his son did it. Mum’s not a thrill-seeker, so it could be a hoot!
