It was fantastic, ... I couldn't ask for a better meet as far as the competition goes and the crowd. This was fun - the kind of stuff that keeps you rejuvenated and keeps you young. You're exhausted, but you don't think about it. You just go out and swim. It's a great meet. |
It's relaxing to swim in front of your family and friends. You couldn't ask for a better meet as far as competition goes and the crowd. |
My life has been no downs, just ups knock on wood. So far, it's been all right. |
My strategy was to stay ahead of Michael in the first 100m, then pull away. That's what I did. |
No one told me anything. I don't know what I did. I have to figure it out. It sounds pretty bogus to me. |
Overall, it was pretty much where I wanted to go tonight. My 100 (back) was pretty good, so I have a good shot tomorrow. I don't want to race anybody in particular. I just want to race. I'm not scared of anybody. |
This has been the opportunity of a lifetime, ... I have always wanted swimming to have an ambassador to travel throughout the United States in places like Hawaii to excite swimmers, parents and the community in general about the great sports that involve water. I have dedicated my life to promoting this, and I now have that opportunity. I have been blessed and I want to share my experiences with as many swimmers as possible. |
This is a pleasant surprise, |
This is fun. This rejuvenates you. It keeps you young. |

You could've put more stands out there and they would have been sold out, too. That crowd was loud. You could hear them when you swam. |
