I finally get to go on my own, with a team I started the year with. It'll be nice. Chris played huge.

We had a different third every weekend. It was hard to get on a roll.

Recently I read the stories I wrote in my early 20s, to put in a volume. And here is this brittle young woman, writing about marriage as, not the worst thing, but the most boring thing that could happen to a person. Now I think I was wrong. I like to be proven wrong.

I had no idea. I didn't believe Kristen at first. I don't look at the clock during the race. Everyone was jumping up and down, I looked at the time and knew it.

That's the year Stephanie was born. That's really old.

I knew we would get first place. I knew it was a good swim.
