00:03 How are you feeling Chloe?

00:04 Yeah, I feel good. Happy that it's over.

00:06 I was a bit nervous, I always get super nervous on race days, but I got the job done and it was good.

00:11 Happy with your run itself?

00:13 Yeah, I probably couldn't have asked for a better run.

00:15 Like I came out strong and then I ran to the end, so yeah that's lucky.

00:19 How were your expectations coming to this? Did you know you were a good chance?

00:22 I knew I was up there, I didn't know.

00:25 I'm new to the GIF racing so the names are new to me, but yeah I just went out and gave it all.

00:31 And yeah, I got the job done.

00:32 How does this compare to the beach sprinting?

00:34 I heard you mention you don't get those sashes and stuff like that in beach sprinting.

00:38 Yeah, on the beach you get a medal when you win, that's about it.

00:43 You sometimes get some money, but yeah, no the GIFs are always good.

00:46 They run to the minute, except for today, but nah it's good.

00:49 It's something different so I enjoy it.

00:51 And what are your goals this season?

00:52 After this a good start, what's next for you?

00:56 I would like to go down to Storlin and give it a crack.

00:59 I gave it a crack last year for the first time, but I came off Aussies so this year I'll be fresh.

01:03 And then yeah, just defend my title on the beach for the following week once again.

01:08 So I'm going for a third year in a row on the beach.

01:11 Yep, and what do you think of Warrnambool? First time here?

01:14 Yeah, first time here, I didn't come last year. It's nice, it's very pretty.

01:20 It's very pretty, and yeah I just love travelling and getting on the plane.

01:23 It's something new and it's exciting.

01:24 Yeah, and go down the terrain tomorrow.

01:26 Yeah, we're going down there, we're going to go drive on the Great Ocean Road now,

01:30 and then tomorrow we'll back it up the terrain. So looking forward to it.

01:33 Sounds good, well good luck for tomorrow.
