I just love thinking about what makes people tick

After my first day of competition I put on compression socks. They help me recover for the next day.

I don't look at Twitter between events because it's a distraction but I will ring my fiance and parents to let them know how it's going.

I carry a golf ball to put under my feet when they get tight, and a Thera-Band for general stretching.

To unwind after training, I love to have a long hot soak in the bath, then veg out on the sofa with a box set. I'm a box-set junkie! I absolutely love 'Grey's Anatomy.'
