With athletes, it's never fully understood the level to which we push ourselves. Especially in an endurance sport.

I want people to be inspired that I've always strived for excellence and I've always gone beyond what anybody ever thought I could do, what I thought I myself could do. And I've allowed myself to be inspired, kept my eyes open and my senses open to inspiration around me.

I am kind of like a diesel. It is the cyclist in me.

The only reason I've shared my story is to take that tiny baby step of breaking down the stigma attached to depression.

I am nowhere near my limit. I just want to see if there are such things as limits. I want to go and find out.

What I have to do now is figure where my passion is, and follow my heart; I've proven that if I have the passion for something then I can succeed. I haven't been listening to my heart in the last little while.

I love working with kids and I want to just be able to do it from my heart and not as a job.
