Transcript

00:00 You're joined by Grace Hewitt from Newcastle, a race winner for Terrang's Gift, you must be happy with that.

00:06 Yeah, I'm so happy with that. It was just good to turn up today because I was feeling a bit sick on Friday.

00:11 I couldn't race yesterday, so it was good to be able to get out there today.

00:15 So you're feeling better?

00:17 Oh, much better. It passed, thank God.

00:20 And did you think you were a good chance going into it?

00:22 I was pretty confident in myself. I train hard, but I know these girls are fast, so I know how to work hard.

00:29 Coming off the back marker, how did you find that?

00:31 Thrilling. It was exciting. I love the chase. I love the challenge.

00:36 So, yeah, I was just honestly really excited to run.

00:39 And what do you think of Terrang?

00:41 It's beautiful. I love these little Victorian terns. They're always so nice to visit.

00:47 And it's always such a good vibe.

00:49 And what's next for you? What are your goals coming up?

00:52 I think I'm going back to the amateurs for a bit, but we'll see.

00:56 I really enjoy the pro running, so I might be back soon.

01:00 Do you want to thank a few people?

01:02 Yeah, of course. Obviously my coach, Tim Esserbach, and my squad member, Gemma, who's supportive,

01:09 and her mum, who organised everything for me, and also my family back home and the sponsors in Terrang.

01:15 Thank you.
