There's never going to be a decathlon that you're going to have 10 events that your satisfied with. You're always, always going to be dissatisfied in something, and that always draws you back to try to retry that the next time you do a decathlon. It's like you go for the perfect 10.

I'm competitive. I like to compete, and that's basically what the decathlon lets me do.

It took me time to realize that the men who won Olympic gold medals in the decathlon are just men, just like me.
