Tomorrow I step into the Olympic start gate for the fifth time. Four years of early mornings. Four years of sacrifice. Four years of choosing the hard road when it would’ve been easier not to. And now it all comes down to this. Nobody expects a 44-year old to win. Good! Being counted out has built my whole career. Doubt is fuel. Experience is my advantage. Every failure. Every podium. Every lesson learned. Tomorrow I lean on race craft, grit, and 16 years of Olympic scars. To everyone who just joined this journey, thank you. It means more than you know. I feel the support. I carry it with me. Time to put on a show. Let’s go to battle. 🇺🇸 #grit #racecraft #hardwork #dedication #noexcuses
