I was on my period the entire time, which made it extra difficult. It took away from the time that I had to rest. I have really horrible cramps on a normal day.

She also disclosed that she had to bathe and change pads during the competition.

Because I was on my period, I had to take a shower every single break I had. If I had 30 minutes, I had to shower in that time because I needed to change.
