Last year, the surgery was a tough decision, but I had to make a decision based on my career. It was a decision to get healthy, and start over with a new team at 100 percent.

Last year was a tough decision for me, to end my season so short. But it was the right decision for me, because right now I feel great. I can go out here and sprint full speed right now, but I'm just going to pace myself for April 5.

Last year was a lifetime, a whole career in one season. We went from being the dregs to winners.

I'd like to see us improving on what we had last year.

You don't have to worry about what happened last year; you can start fresh.

I live in New York and I was only there for 2 weeks all last year.
