Nettle Man and the Kiwi - These two clearly bring a plethora of wisdom to Sarah and this makes her a psychologically tough competitor - some may say a psycho even.. but we don't. Anyway, a delicate blend of traditional training techniques married with OTE's inimitable winning formula of gentle whippings and electric shock therapy are sure to see Sarah mentally and physically prepared in her xc racing world.
