www.strathearn engineering.com We finished up at the town square and there were so many people there. We were piped in, and as soon as that happened I just burst into tears. I try not to get emotional, but I couldn’t help it. It was just so nice, the fact that people came out to show how proud they were of what we’d done, and the fact that they thought of doing something like that was lovely.
I was back in Glasgow in April for the UK Championships where I achieved the selection standard for the Rio Olympics, so the hard work continues – it’s going to be a busy summer.
To relax, I read or watch movies. Sometimes I’ll take a trip into Aberdeen to go to the cinema or go shopping. There are clothes shops in Inverurie too, although I probably need to curb it – I’ve not got much space left for more clothes. But when you mostly live in tracksuits, it’s nice having some normal clothes to wear.
I love to go to Pets at Home, even when I don’t need anything. I just go in to look at the rabbits and guinea pigs! I love animals. All the way through school I wanted to be a vet, so I made sure I did all three sciences. My grades weren’t all As, so I probably wouldn’t be able to be a vet, but I’ve been looking into it recently and there are so many other types of work you can do with animals. There’s animal hydrotherapy, for instance, which is rehab combining animals and water – my two favourite things. Something like that would be great to do in the future.
‘A lot of my rivals train at state-of-theart facilities, but being here works for me. It’s the Rocky effect!’
