But what about all the points I'll miss? 173 00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:13,040 It'll be tough to catch up, but you can do it. 174 00:10:18,340 --> 00:10:22,640 The funny thing about confidence is that when you lose it, you don't notice it 175 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,499 at first. 176 00:10:23,500 --> 00:10:24,780 It's like a leaky pipe. 177 00:10:25,060 --> 00:10:28,860 It just starts as a tiny trickle, drop by little drop. 178 00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:32,640 It didn't take long for the process to start either. 179 00:10:33,290 --> 00:10:37,110 Suddenly, I had plenty of time to watch Lauren and Bridget work out on their 180 00:10:37,110 --> 00:10:38,110 balls. 181 00:10:47,370 --> 00:10:51,790 I always knew they were good, but now I realise they were really good. 182 00:10:52,390 --> 00:10:56,130 The more I watched them, the more I knew how tough they'd be to compete against. 183 00:10:56,450 --> 00:11:00,730 For the first time this year, I started to feel seriously shaky about my 184 00:11:00,730 --> 00:11:01,730 chances. 185 00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:03,460 That's it, guys. As fast as you can. 186 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,380 Don't worry about hitting hard. The point is to keep the speed up. 187 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,320 Good. 188 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,540 As I watched the others train, I could see how hard it was going to be to catch 189 00:11:12,540 --> 00:11:13,540 up to them again. 190 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,479 That's it, guys. 191 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,480 Light and fast. 192 00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:19,640 They were all so good and so on top of their game. 193 00:11:20,300 --> 00:11:23,120 At this level, you can't stand still and hope to be in the race. 194 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,300 And I wasn't just standing still. 195 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,060 I was actually going backwards. 196 00:11:28,260 --> 00:11:29,760 The worst thing of all, though... 197 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,920 It's that when you start losing faith in yourself, you take it out on everybody 198 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,200 else. It's almost like you blame them for your own stuff -ups. 199 00:11:37,560 --> 00:11:38,560 Hey there. 200 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,460 I thought you might like this. 201 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,240 What is it?

And it wasn't a pretty sight. 219 00:12:43,220 --> 00:12:44,640 Watch where you're going, dropkick! 220 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,220 Don't worry, Cassie, we'll get there. 221 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,080 Look, I don't need you to do this.

Good luck, Cass! 360 00:19:49,220 --> 00:19:54,140 I don't know whether it was good to have the others turn up to watch me or not. 361 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,860 I suddenly felt more nervous than I've ever felt in my whole life. 362 00:19:58,330 --> 00:19:59,330 What if I bombed? 363 00:19:59,590 --> 00:20:01,710 I'd never be able to look them in the eye again. 364 00:20:02,230 --> 00:20:03,290 She looks a bit nervous. 365 00:20:03,650 --> 00:20:05,190 Poor she is. Look at the competition. 366 00:20:05,630 --> 00:20:07,070 It's not like she's a regular competitor. 367 00:20:07,650 --> 00:20:09,670 What's the matter with you guys? Show a little faith. 368 00:20:11,090 --> 00:20:12,090 They're ready to go. 369 00:20:40,290 --> 00:20:41,830 She doesn't go too hard too quickly. 370 00:20:42,210 --> 00:20:43,630 Don't worry, she'll pace herself. 371 00:20:44,570 --> 00:20:47,450 Once I got into a rhythm, I forgot about my nerve. 372 00:20:47,690 --> 00:20:50,110 I also forgot about the other competitors too. 373 00:20:50,610 --> 00:20:52,730 Suddenly, it was exactly like surfing. 374 00:20:53,070 --> 00:20:54,570 Just me and the ocean. 375 00:20:55,350 --> 00:20:56,490 Rebecca, how's she going? 376 00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:57,710 She caught up to the leaders yet? 377 00:20:58,090 --> 00:21:00,890 It's too hard to tell. There are so many swimmers out there. 378 00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:05,230 Gary, how long before they reach the buoy, do you reckon? 379 00:21:05,710 --> 00:21:06,750 Maybe 15 minutes. 380 00:21:07,370 --> 00:21:10,370 We should go up to the headland. We'll be able to see them turn from up there. 381 00:21:10,810 --> 00:21:12,630 Sure, what are we waiting for? Let's do it. 382 00:21:13,910 --> 00:21:17,290 The one thing I hadn't thought about in all this was that this was the first 383 00:21:17,290 --> 00:21:19,330 time I'd been in the ocean since my accident. 384 00:21:19,770 --> 00:21:23,650 As the waves got bigger, my mind kept screening instant replay. 385 00:21:24,830 --> 00:21:26,510 Come on, Kathy, you're over that. 386 00:21:26,930 --> 00:21:27,930 Can't wimp out now. 387 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,120 Hey, they're making good time. 388 00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:36,620 What about Cassie? Can't actually see her. We're not going to stay until the 389 00:21:36,620 --> 00:21:37,299 finish line. 390 00:21:37,300 --> 00:21:38,300 Reggie, she'll keep up. 391 00:21:38,540 --> 00:21:41,440 You wait. The second half of the race, she'll really show her stuff. 392 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,240 Come on, Cassie! 393 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,720 Lauren, she can't hear you from up here. 394 00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:47,640 Come on, Cassie! 395 00:21:51,420 --> 00:21:53,160 Halfway. You've made it to halfway. 396 00:21:54,220 --> 00:21:55,440 Downhill from here, right? 397 00:21:58,660 --> 00:22:01,240 I don't know about you lot, but I'm going down that finish line. 398 00:22:01,790 --> 00:22:02,309 Me too. 399 00:22:02,310 --> 00:22:03,490 I'm not missing out on that. 400 00:22:03,930 --> 00:22:06,730 Come on! Why do my arms feel like lead? 401 00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:11,950 Why would my feet kick in time? 402 00:22:12,490 --> 00:22:14,890 Come on, body, just ten minutes, please. 403 00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:18,490 Oh, look, everyone's coming in now. 404 00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:22,510 Any sign of Cassie? Hey, I wouldn't expect much of your major achievement 405 00:22:22,510 --> 00:22:23,510 to finish this race. 406 00:22:24,970 --> 00:22:26,890 Come on, Trasky, where are you? 407 00:22:53,070 --> 00:22:54,470 That was great work, Cassie. 408 00:22:54,790 --> 00:22:56,290 I don't mind if I die. 409 00:22:57,530 --> 00:23:00,470 Okay, so I didn't win the swimming race. 410 00:23:00,710 --> 00:23:03,090 In fact, I didn't come second or third either. 411 00:23:03,370 --> 00:23:07,330 But I did place in the first ten, which, as it happened, was enough to get me 412 00:23:07,330 --> 00:23:10,170 the three points I needed to keep up with the others at Solon Woods. 413 00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:14,530 And, of course, it was those very others who'd done so much to get me there 414 00:23:14,530 --> 00:23:18,270 anyway. Hey, guys, I've just got to make a quick detour. I'll catch you later. 415 00:23:18,530 --> 00:23:20,690 Oh, well, don't be too long, otherwise I'm going to eat all your lunch. 416 00:23:23,179 --> 00:23:24,179 Mr. Simon. 417 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,500 Cassie, good morning. Morning. 418 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,200 That assignment I handed in a couple of weeks ago, the one that was short. 419 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,600 Yes, not the standard I've come to expect from you. 420 00:23:34,980 --> 00:23:36,040 No, it was rubbish. 421 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,720 I just wanted to give it to you properly this time. 422 00:23:40,660 --> 00:23:43,320 I'm sorry, Cassie, it's too late. I've already marked them. 423 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,980 No, I'm not doing it for the mark. 424 00:23:45,620 --> 00:23:49,760 I just wanted to make up for doing something that was so second rate. 425 00:23:50,540 --> 00:23:51,540 Good. 426 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,500 Well, I can't adjust the mark, but I will read it and let you know what I 427 00:23:56,140 --> 00:23:57,960 Thanks, sir. I'd really appreciate that. 428 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,340 They say a truly confident person is someone who's not afraid to admit their 429 00:24:03,340 --> 00:24:04,340 mistakes. 430 00:24:04,460 --> 00:24:09,640 If that's the case, my confidence must be well and truly back because, boy, 431 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,900 I made some mistakes lately. 432 00:24:12,060 --> 00:24:15,560 At the end of the day, though, I'm just glad to be back where I started. 433 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,440 And next time we go out to surf in your break, I'll be really, really careful. 434 00:24:21,620 --> 00:24:25,240 That's today's promise anyway, and who knows? I might even be able to keep it. 435 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,340 At least until tomorrow.
