I'm still making my decision in the next few days on what path I'm going to take. What really makes me excited now is to continue to give back to the sport.

The first day I was told that I had osteoarthritis, I thought it was the worst thing that could possibly happen to me; I was done. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't run so my life was over. But because I'm a competitive person, I wasn't going to let anything slow me down and I turned it around and made it a positive.

Before the Olympics, there's always been a part of me that's wanted to write a book about Women's cycling because there isn't one out there and I think there's a lot to be said.

Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph.

Running is always an exercise in humility.

If there were any people who were my role models I would just say it was my family's influence and the family and the kids around me.

I had to quit triathlons, I continued to be active and worked in advertising agency .
