I just conducted my first interview with Ben the Bike guy.
It was pretty good in that he was really friendly and answered my questions in detail and put me at ease.
It was not so good in that I probably asked him the same question 3 times, and after trying to record it on my phone, saw at the end of the interview that nothing had recorded, so had to go on my own flaky memory and random notes.
Thankfully, I have just written down all my notes properly and actually have more words then needed for the article in note form.
The one thing I'm really worried about is the editor from the magazine wanted some type of hook to make it "newsy", but alas I could not find one. I am grasping at straws here but I may go on the fact he has only recently become a permenent member of this bike team he is a part of.
I sound ridiculous don't I.
C'est la vie.
I am going to write the article later, if I forget anything I will just have to give him a text and completely lose all dignity.
I hope that everyone who starts out is as useless as I am or I'm in a spot of trouble.
