00:00When I think about it, I think about, like, 12-year-old me
00:03and how cool I would have thought it would be to be this back then.
00:08So we qualified the October 2019.
00:12We had a training camp in Tokyo.
00:15Between qualifying and getting out there, it was just an absolute whirlwind.
00:18Like, within a week, we were in Tokyo preparing for pre-Olympic event and training camp.
00:24It's probably one of the first times I was actually on my own.
00:26I went out for dinner on my own one night.
00:28I had slightly different caloric needs to the rest of the team.
00:30I get away with eating a bit more.
00:32They wanted to eat in, so I just took myself out and I was cycling into town.
00:35Yeah, I remember just having that moment of, like, whoa, like, this is actually happening.
00:39And I think, yeah, just because it was probably the first time I was actually on my own
