They did not let me down. They were amazing.

That was so amazing. They said they ran as hard as they could just to give me a chance to get back to state.

I hope I can do the same thing next week. My hip is feeling better. It's always exciting around district and regional time.

It's a competition. As long as you're still competing against the world's best, the course doesn't matter too much.

It's almost like home to me. I won my first major race here when I was 10, and it seems like this is where I've had all my big races.

I've trained a lot harder. Right now, I think I'm paddling the best I ever have.
