Shaving for a big meet in January was a little strange too. They say lightening never strikes twice, but there isn't a saying about lightening striking four times. Just like Trials, the same thing happened in Perth. I finished ninth. Oh my gosh, it can't happen again,' then it happened again.
Confidence is an easy thing to lose and it's hard to get back.
It's so unforgiving. All of the miles swum, all of the weights lifted, you think, maybe I shouldn't have even bothered. I try not to let things drag me down. I attribute a lot of that to my coach Eddie Reese and Josh Davis. Easier said than done.
