I've trained a lot harder. Right now, I think I'm paddling the best I ever have. |
It was everything you'd think it would be. Walking through the tunnel into that stadium with your country's team, there's nothing like it. |
It's a competition. As long as you're still competing against the world's best, the course doesn't matter too much. |
It's almost like home to me. I won my first major race here when I was 10, and it seems like this is where I've had all my big races. |
