achieve arrive believe cake came difficult good helped hope hopefully huge icing mentor next plan push taught team top year
So it was a good field, but the most important thing was that the team came up with a very difficult plan for me. Lance helped me a lot and having an idol, a mentor like that to come up with a plan and for me to put the icing on the cake was a huge accomplishment. It taught me that if I believe in myself, I can push my own limits. I hope to achieve that here, next year even more, and hopefully arrive at the top eventually.
create good love sabotage scares system witch year
What scares me is (the re-testing procedure) would create a full-blown witch hunt. This would give them another year to sabotage the system again, and that's not a good thought. I love my sport. I love racing. I feel I have accomplished enough.
almost heard neat since year
You try to take all of that in. It will have been almost a year since I have heard that as a sportsman. It will be neat to get a little of that back.
although defend georgia great hope last race terms tough tougher year
Georgia was a great race last year and very tough in terms of its route, ... I hope to defend there, although I think it will be tougher this year.
years people trying
For 15 years I was a complete arsehole to a dozen people. I said I would try and make it right with those people, and anybody that gave me an audience, I was there.
cancer bad-day years
Everything in my life is in perspective. OK, perspective ebbs and flows. I've had bad days, but they weren't in the last years. A bad day is 2 October 1996: 'We've got bad news for you, you've got advanced testicular cancer and you've got a coin's toss chance of survival.' That's a bad day.

I joined the swim team when I was 12, and I was the worst kid in the pool - I was put with a group of 7-year-olds.
years careers records
My career is going to be played out year by year. Will I be here in 2004? I don't know. The record won't keep me here. Happiness will.

I have never doped. I can say it again, but I've said it for seven years.
clever years trying
If you're trying to hide something, you wouldn't keep getting away with it for 10 years. Nobody is that clever.
years abdominals best-year
I am just coming into my best years. This year I did new things; stretching and abdominal work.
pain believe years
[The] pain is temporary. It may last a minute, an hour, a day, or a year, but eventually it subsides. And when it does, something else takes its place, and that thing might be called a greater space for happiness ... Each time we overcome pain, I believe that we grow.
country athlete years
It's tough to be a 15- or 16-year-old athlete competing around the country. There's tension, there's media. I had no idea what I was getting into.
years people design
Obviously, I come from one background, and the people that design fitness equipment have been doing it for years and years, and they know what works and doesn't work.
