'Tis healthy to be sick sometimes.

Anytime you have a tight race and you lose, it's not pleasant.

I am healthy, my family is healthy. That is the important thing. After that we go racing.

I've found that my athletes run their best races after about 10 weeks of intense training.

Racing is what I live for, and it makes my world go around. Having said that, without the support of the diabetes community, I may not have gotten back into the race car after my diagnosis in October 2007.

You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out.

But it is nice to know that you have other races lined up, because sometimes you can get so focused on your next marathon that it can become kind of unhealthy in some ways. So it's nice to have something else to slap you in the face and say, all right, there is life after the Olympics.

If I go racing tomorrow and I have five rides that all get beaten, all I want to do is get out there the next day and put it right. I hate having Sundays off; I hate having any day off.

There's nothing more raw in life than when you're sick.

The weather plays a very big role. I have run very few races in the raining and the cold.
