AT OUR last team meeting before we went to Sydney they made a big deal of me making a fifth Olympics. The whole team gave me the most amazing round of applause. There were first time Olympians there too, including Jo. From the very beginning at the Sydney Olympics I’d been put up on a pedestal. It was a very humbling experience.

The start of the Olympics was something I will never forget and the end of it with the race finishing with 100,000 people chanting along to The Proclaimers’ I Would Walk 500 Miles was an epic end.
