Cold water is amazing. I know you think 14 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 3: I might sound crazy, but it's just invigorating. And you 15 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: sort of find a little eddy and you dive under 16 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: and the river waters washing over you and you feel 17 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: like it's washing away all of the bad shit, you. 18 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: Know what I mean.

How will you be satisfied at 511 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 3: the end of this Olympics being your last you know? 512 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: I mean it's. 513 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 3: Hard not to say gold, gold, gold, But like, do 514 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 3: you in your mind have a goal? 515 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: I think for me, like dream of all dreams. I 516 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: want to win the hundred breast again, the Turner breast. 517 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 4: The girls have gotten a lot faster than they have 518 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 4: been in the past few years. 519 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: Which kind of sucks. But if I could just meddle 520 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 1: in that, that'd be awesome. And then the medley relay, 521 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: I would like I would like to win again. 522 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 4: Ye we. 523 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: I was on the prelim's relay last time, and we 524 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: ended up getting silver. But that's that's a relay, Like 525 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: I just have such a pride in that relay and 526 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: we've been we've been really dominant in it the last 527 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: few years. So that, Yeah, two golds I think would 528 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: be like the ultimate dream. 529 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 3: The ultimate who's your main who's in the hundred, who's 530 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 3: your main competition? 531 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 4: Yeah. 532 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: So there's a Chinese swimmer that just went just shy 533 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: of my world record, but a lot of the time 534 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: to time, the slimmers swimmer really really fast at Chinese 535 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: nationals and then don't repeat. 536 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 4: It when they get to the big meat. 537 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: So her and then Ruta my Latita won world championships 538 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: last year. She's Lithuanian. She should be really good, ready 539 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: to go. She actually won Olympic gold in twenty twelve 540 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: at fifteen. We're the same age, so that's kind of crazy. Yeah, 541 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: she should be. She should be on and ready to go. 542 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 3: I think, do you get to swim against these girls 543 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 3: like throughout the year in worlds or you know, I mean, 544 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 3: or is this like one time like boom, hey, how 545 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 3: are you let's go? 546 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 4: Yeah? It usually once a year, so yeah, it's it's 547 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 4: kind of intense. 548 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. 549 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: And then there's another cup African swimmer.

Definitely. 558 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: We do have some meets like throughout the year occasionally, 559 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: like if people do World Cups, you get to, I 560 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: guess meet people and and uh and make friends when 561 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: we're less serious competitions. But yeah, I would say I 562 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: have some friends from from other places, but not usually 563 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: people that some of my races. 564 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 3: Do you have an idea when you do hang up 565 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 3: the gogs?
