I Wanted To Do Something Nobody Ever

I Finished My Career The Way I Wanted To.

I Always Have On My Headphones To Block Out All Of The Other Distractions And I'm Just Focused On Doing The Best That I Can.... There A Few Of Them ... Dmx Party Up ... Mack 10 Bc And Ice Cube Connected For Life. I Also Listen To The Eminem Cd ...whichever Song Really Gets Me Going That Night

Water Has Always Been A Large Part Of My Life, So For Me Now, Being A Father With Another Child On The Way, I'm Just Teaching Some Of The Small Things I've Been Able To Learn - And Passing That Onto The Younger Generation. Small Things Like Turning Your Faucet Off When You Brush Your Teeth, Not Taking A 30-minute Shower When You Really Don't Need To. So I Want To Teach The Younger Generation To Spread The Message And Make A Difference. I'm Almost More Excited To Do This Than I Was To Swim.

Other Nights ... I Visualize To The Point That I Know Exactly What I Want To Do: Dive, Glide, Stroke, Flip, Reach The Wall, Hit The Split Time To The Hundredth, Then Swim Back Again For As Many Times As I Need To Finish The Race.

Coming Into Tonight, I Knew It Was Going To Be A Great Race, ... In The 400, Laszlo Put Up A 4:10.1 Earlier In The Year, And So You Expect Him To Put Up A Good Time In (the 200). I Knew Ryan Was Going To Be Fast Coming Off His Short Course Season, And He's Improved A Lot Since Athens, So I Just Wanted To Go Out There And Relax A Bit And Go Out There And Do What I Had To Do.
