After my swims this weekend I think coach realized, you know what, you have to have a good one getting out of this meet. So I put the suit on and had a decent swim.
It's so hard to express yourself, because swimmers are pretty much paying attention to a black line for hours out of a day.
The big picture is the Trials and Olympics. I just have to keep focused for that, keep moving forward.
I have a lot of endurance and I have a good background right now in my training and it's time to get ready.
My suit blew up into a parachute. All this water rushed in, there's air, water in there. I was freaking out.
I like girls who really don't care what other people are thinking - girls who are a little goofy. I think that's sexy.
I surround myself with people who really understand and love me. I think that's the best thing I can do.
I love working out. I mean, I've been doing it for about 20 years every day of my entire life. So I enjoy working out.
I started eating healthier. I actually gave up fast food. I gave up candy and potato chips and everything else. I started watching what I ate.
I enjoy racing so much. Ever since I was 8 or 9, I trained every stroke, because it was the only way I could race a lot.
I'm very competitive. I remember being 4 years old trying to out-chug my dad in a milk-chugging contest. It's been in my blood.
