I could scrape water off horses all day long. That would never get boring.

Being a track sprinter, when it's all about a thousandth of a second, there is no escaping the numbers every single day.

I would read all day if I could.

I went to Australia and did a three day hike with my fiance through the wilderness, which was nice.

One of the first coaches I worked with on the national team told me that I was too skinny, too puny, and had no natural acceleration. He said I'd be better off looking for another facet of sport to follow. That was a really, really bad moment. For a long time, I felt as if my dad was the only one who had faith in me.

It sounds so boring - and my brothers tease, 'Oh poor you, pulling pretend pints all day' - but it's very, very long hours, and you're knackered when you get home.
