I've Always Been Fortunate In That I've

Other Nights ... I Visualize To The Point That I Know Exactly What I Want To Do: Dive, Glide, Stroke, Flip, Reach The Wall, Hit The Split Time To The Hundredth, Then Swim Back Again For As Many Times As I Need To Finish The Race.

When You Use Your Imagination Anything Can Happen.

For Recovery, I Think It's A Big Deal To Eat Within A Half-hour After You Exercise. Otherwise I Just Try To Put Carbs Into My System Before I Swim And Then Load Up On The Protein After. I Don't Count Calories. Whether It's Sour Patch Kids Or Reese's Or A Bag Of Chips, If I Feel Like Eating It, I'm Going To Eat It.

I Like To Get In My Own World. When I'm Getting Ready For A Meet, I Always Have Headphones On, Listening To Rap Music To Get Myself Fired Up

Perseverance, Determination, Commitment, And Courage-those Things Are Real. The Desire For Redemption Drives You.
