Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have a lot of emotion at the end of the race. It is not easy to control that when you win.
I am always nervous before the start of a race. It helps me to say to myself to try my very best. That is my commitment. No matter how bad it gets, I will try my hardest.
If you want to win anything - a race, yourself, your life - you have to go a little berserk.
I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.
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 just tried to keep my cool and continue with my race plan: to win.
I race to win, not to please people.
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.
