Unique information or story about you: I was married by a Tahitian Chief and didn’t understand a single word he was saying...so who knows what really happened that day. I might be the proud owner of 500 goats on a small island in French Polynesians.   Most embarrassing (race) moment: Coming back from an injury and competing in my first race I was completely exhausted at the finish looking around for my husband who spotted me first and shouted out my name which alarmed me, I then grabbed my front brake (hard) and did a complete endo in front of lots of people (I say hundreds, but my husband says four). I have an ugly scar to prove it...ouch!
