Hill sprints are good for everyone!

I have a power word that I use-when I qualified for the Olympics in 2008, it was fighter. That way when I'm in the race and I get to those dark moments, I can think of the word and it evokes that emotion for me.

Get out there and do what you love!

As badly as I want a medal, I know there is a lot of luck involved in that. I want to put myself in position to be in the top three, give it my all and hope luck comes my way.

Never underestimate the power that one good workout can have on your mind. Keeping the dream alive is half the battle.

Don't be ashamed or embarrassed to dream big. You're living your life with hope, that's a powerful thing.

Erase from your mind that your preparation must be perfect. Hard work + dedication = a shot at your dreams. Keep believing.
