I never expected to compete at home in a UCI women's race - let alone as world champion.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No one expected me to become a champion.
I never thought about competing in the Olympic Games when I was growing up.
If I never competed again, it wouldn't bother me. I don't care.
I've never been competitive with anybody but myself.
I never thought I could win the French Open.
No one ever watched competitive swimming.
I was never going to give Mariah Carey any competition.
I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.
I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.
Competing with other women wastes a lot of time, and I'm just not very good at it.
