I didn't do anything special in my training. I just think I was more prepared for my next meet. It was my last chance, too, so I think the pressure was really on. I was just excited and ready. |
It was only a time trial, just me and the water. I don't think it was hard because I had it in my mind that I had to break the record. |
When I touched the wall and looked at the scoreboard, I knew I had the record. It was amazing. I threw my arm up in the air and started screaming. I can't believe I actually broke the record. [Pearson] was one of the best swimmers to leave the Florida Gold Coast. |
When I was little I didn't like going to practice so much. Now, that is the only thing I want to do is go to practice and train. |
