My Goal Is One Olympic

I Felt Comfortable In The Water. I Was In My Own World, Focused. I Love Sports And I'm A Very Goal-oriented Person. Once I Started Falling In Love With Sports, It Was Easy. I Was Able To Put My Mind On Something And Go For It. That's How I Am With Everything, It Doesn't Matter What It Is That I Do. If I Want To Do Something, Nothing Will Stand In My Way.

Before, It Came Easy For Me. I Don't Have Two Speeds Anymore. I Need To Focus On The Small Things That I Once Took For Granted.

I Am 26 And, And I Don't Recover As Fast As I Have In The Past.

Coming Into Tonight, I Knew It Was Going To Be A Great Race, ... In The 400, Laszlo Put Up A 4:10.1 Earlier In The Year, And So You Expect Him To Put Up A Good Time In (the 200). I Knew Ryan Was Going To Be Fast Coming Off His Short Course Season, And He's Improved A Lot Since Athens, So I Just Wanted To Go Out There And Relax A Bit And Go Out There And Do What I Had To Do.

I Grew Up Around The Pool With My Sisters. Both Of My Sisters Swam. I Was Always There. So I Thought, Why Not? My Mom Put Us In The Water For Water Safety, So We Were Comfortable In The Water In Case Anything Ever Happened. I Learned That Way, And Started Liking It More And More.
