I was always cycling for my dad. Then the coaches got bigger, and my results got better. Suddenly, the responsibility grows, and I'm doing it for somebody else, I'm doing it for a programme; I'm doing it for the country. I'm doing it for, like, everybody.
I'm someone who wears their heart on their sleeve.
I beat myself up the whole time because I'm striving for something I'll basically never achieve. I portray this image of confidence, of arrogance, and it's not really me. I'm never satisfied, and I'm never content. It means I'm a bit of a mess some of the time.
I've lost a lot more races than I've ever won... it's all part of the journey, really.
There's footage of me bouncing around, all uncoordinated, trying to work out how on earth you're supposed to do a rising trot on a really extravagant moving eventing horse.
My best hair care tip would be, choose a range that is right for your hair structure. Working with Pantene has made me realize the importance of this, and it really does make a difference. I have quite thick hair, so I use the Smooth & Sleek range.
Oh, I am an angel, though sometimes I wish I was more of a devil.
I always feel that most people out there who aren't sure if the gym is really for them aren't prepared to pay and find out.
I've never pretended that I'm not female and vulnerable. To me, it's just being honest.
There have been a lot of moments in my career when things haven't gone to plan.
I was just, like, all I want to do is be really good at something. Really, really good at something, so people are vaguely impressed by me.
It would be great to be recognised for my achievements, but Sports Personality isn't about that.
I love sport and will do just about anything. Someone said they'd had a go at skiing off a mountain with a parachute, and that sounds great!
I compete in a sport on an individual basis, but I have never done it for me.
I've been told from the start, 'Don't fall in love with the horses'. But that's so hard. I'm in awe.
People may think I'm crazy, but one of the ways I like to wind down my Friday is to get some of our household chores done, whether it's cleaning or doing a big food shop, so the house is all nice for the weekend.
