I like to think I have at least some control of my emotions, but making the Olympic team has proven otherwise. It’s not like I broke down and cried or anything like that; the night of the 5K final was great, but it was pretty much what I would have expected. What I didn’t expect was to have a total loss of motivation when I got back to San Diego. I spent about a week there before heading over here to Europe to race. During that week I just felt tired and unmotivated. One day I ended up just skipping everything I was supposed to do in the afternoon to go to the beach! Fortunately there were people there to tell me that was a normal way to feel right after the Trials. [More]
