I've wanted to win at everything, every day, since I was a kid. And time doesn't change a person, it just helps you get a handle on who you are. Even at age 41, I still hate losing--I'm just more gracious about it. I'm also aware that setbacks have an upside; they fuel new dreams.

What Iâ€™d like to teach my daughter about self-image and self-esteem is that youâ€™re beautiful on the inside and the outside, and not to get obsessed with pictures that are out there in magazines of skinny models.Â I had an eating disorder in college and wanted to look like those models and be thin.Â So Iâ€™ll probably share that experience with her and let her know that youâ€™re beautiful just the way you are.

I folded my clothes and put them on the bench. I placed my water bottle under my starting block, and I dove in. Once again, I felt that ultimate state of transition, my feet no longer on the ground, my hands not yet in the water.
