It's very difficult to try and find the self-belief when you have very little to justify it. I'm almost doubly delighted that it was pretty horrible and I managed to keep my head and get the job done.

It was kind of nerve-wracking and at times it wasn’t pretty out there at all, but I managed to grind it out and come through.

I’m proud of the way I handled myself and hopefully this is the springboard to future successes for me.
