Aw shucks ruthie, I'm touched!
I would've had a speach prepared but in the presence of such great competitors I didn't think I'd need one!
I'd like to thank my mummy, who never wanted me to get a bike;
CK and AK for feeding me at christmas, without their kindness I'd no doubt have wasted away through January and not been able to compete;
My sponsors, if I had any;
My Physics teacher, god rest his soul, for his patience and understanding over the incident which led to the school being evacuated;
and last but not least, Ruthie, just for being Ruthie!
