I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've lost a lot more races than I've ever won... it's all part of the journey, really.
It might sound stupid, but I don't enter a race to win - I enter a race because I love racing.
I've got to win every race.
If you want to win anything - a race, yourself, your life - you have to go a little berserk.
Anytime you have a tight race and you lose, it's not pleasant.
I lost races because I wanted too much to win them in beating my rivals.
I got into the race and people literally laughed. They thought I had no chance of winning.
That is an important part of my success. Another big part of my success is that I hated not to finish a race.
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.
I was really happy with my race, though. I beat my personal best by 1.2 seconds.
