I'm more comfortable knowing that, chances are, I'm going to fail at this. I've become comfortable with that.

I think it's better to attempt something and fail than it is to not even attempt it, so I'm glad that I've been prepared to put myself on the line there.

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.

I'll go for broke. Swim faster. It's not going to be easy - this whole thing was never going to be easy.

I've enjoyed training again, I've enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I'll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself.

We must become more comfortable with probability and uncertainty.
