It's so weird, ... Last summer, it seemed I'd never get to the Olympics. Life is going by faster now that I'm not in the gym much. I don't have to train at that same intensity.

catch hang heard minutes noise running sat thirty tongue
They wanted to hang out with me and take me snipe hunting, ... I'd never heard of it. I pictured myself running and swooping up birds. They told me to take a flashlight and make a clucking noise with my tongue and then see how many I could catch in a bag. I sat there for about thirty minutes clucking, going ' Cluck! Cluck! Cluck! ' Then I said, 'I kind of don't think this is real.'
feeling time watching
Every time I come to a meet, it makes me want to get out there, ... Today, watching the juniors, I was like, 'Uh-huh, I'm feeling it.'
