00:00:00
sort of Grassroots sport level like people have to make a lot of sacrifices and without my parents I definitely
00:00:06
wouldn't still be peddling cuz it's pretty expensive to go paddling even
00:00:10
around New Zealand and then let alone traveling to Europe to go and race internationally it's yeah there was no
00:00:15
never any Kickback financially that was on the horizon it was just you just like
00:00:20
it so we'll help you do it the house was kind of funny it had like a glass ceiling on one of the there was like a
00:00:25
double Lounge kind of thing it was weird and it was all cracked and leaking and stuff so every time rain luckily we live
00:00:30
in Alexandria where it's not much rain but every time it did rain it would just
00:00:34
pour through the roof so we had to put buckets and stuff out and Mom would always say I'd rather spend the money on
00:00:39
sending you to Europe or sending you on a training camp or helping you do whatever than fix the roof so it's just
00:00:45
stuff like that their parents do that yeah it makes a big difference so
