Whenever I race in the U.K., the crowd just makes such a massive difference, often between winning and losing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every race is different. If you come down the home straight neck and neck, the crowd cheering for you can decide the race.
Before competition, I start to question things. I don't know why it happens, but you've got to control it so you don't get too far out of the race.
I've lost a lot more races than I've ever won... it's all part of the journey, really.
I lost races because I wanted too much to win them in beating my rivals.
Anytime you have a tight race and you lose, it's not pleasant.
It might sound stupid, but I don't enter a race to win - I enter a race because I love racing.
I race to win. If I am on the bike or in a car it will always be the same.
I race to win, not to please people.
I'm a competitor. I really enjoyed the race more than just going out and running to run.
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.
