17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,680

00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: once the day is over you can have a relief

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: and it is enjoyable on the day and it's exciting,

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: but there is a lot of pressure going into a

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: race like this too.

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,520

Speaker 1: and training, Well.

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,120
