For myself, losing is not coming second. It's getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I've been in.
From Ian Thorpe
I've enjoyed training again, I've enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I'll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself.
Sometimes we question things that we have done in our lives but how many times do we question what we haven't done in someone else's.
I'm still swimming.
Remember to do the things you enjoy away from swimming, regularly.
The fairytale has turned into a nightmare.
I'll go for broke. Swim faster. It's not going to be easy - this whole thing was never going to be easy.
When I started this I wanted to get back in the pool, I wanted to race and I wanted to go to the Olympics. I still want to do all of those things.
I'm more comfortable knowing that, chances are, I'm going to fail at this. I've become comfortable with that.
I think it's better to attempt something and fail than it is to not even attempt it, so I'm glad that I've been prepared to put myself on the line there.
