I will remember all the days at the Olympics.

Even though I enjoy that head-to-head competition part, one of the things that drove me to long track was if I won or if I lost I want to know it's all on my shoulders and it didn't have anything to do with anybody else.

It's sad to know I'm done. But looking back, I've got a lot of great memories.
