00:00My name is Kate O'Brien and I'm an Olympic cyclist.
00:02It's always a bit scary to get on the track.
00:04Picture riding a bike with no brakes.
00:07You can't stop pedaling.
00:08Your feet are strapped in with a bunch of people elbowing you.
00:12Fear of the unknown is a huge thing for me,
00:15is to try to face ambiguity and uncertainty
00:20without letting it dictate my path.
00:22That's the challenge.
00:23I think if you let fear win, you're not really living your life.
00:28You're living a life of regrets,
00:31not knowing if you're even truly being who you're supposed to be.
00:36But I refused to give up
00:39and I refused to let that dictate what I was going to do
00:42and how I was going to live my life.
