I just wanted to win on the road, honestly. I don't remember the road ever being this tough.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The road is hard, and you have to get accustomed to it.
The road hasn't always been paved for me. People identify with that. Everybody passes through hard times, and I think that's part of my appeal - that I have, too.
It hasn't been a totally smooth road, but in the whole span of things I feel like a very lucky person.
I've had a long, long road with lots of ups and downs. But that's all behind me now.
Whatever road you've been given, enjoy that road.
The road was new to me, as roads always are, going back.
In a way, 'On the Road's greatest victory is that nobody's eyes will be opened any longer by reading it; the last time I met any young people who were actually 'on the road' was when I covered Occupy St. Louis. Those few, dirty kids were fighting a battle even they couldn't articulate.
I've always been very driven and knew that to get where I wanted to go, I could never give up.
It has been a difficult road this year, but still I look at every day as a new opportunity.
I don't like the road. I love being on the track. I like being indoors and the fact I'm not battling past 200 other riders.
