I've been training really hard this year, more than any other year. My mind was set on it, and after the first one, I just kept feeding off of it.
Things are moving pretty quick, and of course, the whole focus is training and getting ready and being able to prepare to be on the world's stage and hopefully do the United States proud.
I took my weight training to a new level.
I have a lot of endurance and I have a good background right now in my training and it's time to get ready.
I knew he was here tonight. I tapped him in the gut when I was walking over to the starting blocks.
The biggest thing I'll miss is being part of the team.
It was my last race, and I just wanted to give everything I had because there wasn't another race left.
We had our minds set on it all year. I'm glad I could go out and accomplish these goals.
It felt good to actually have a decent swim.
If someone asked me to be in a movie, I'd be more than happy.
I'm definitely laid back. I don't take things so seriously.
I wasn't really happy with the way 2008 turned out for me. I wanted to change some things.
My dad was my swim coach growing up, and I tried to get kicked out of practice every day. I was a little devil kid.
A player is someone - a guy - that messes with girls' emotions just to try and get what they want. I've been asked, 'Do you consider yourself a player?' And the answer is no. I don't think I'm anywhere near that.
