1 " She transcends her sport, which is what any sport needs...And she does it while smiling the whole time. It's kind of a joke, but then again it's not, especially if you're a male pro trailing in her wake.

2 " Some sessions are stars and some sessions are stones, but in the end they are all rocks and we build upon them. "
3 " We lost ourselves in a bubble of family and celebrations, which carried on over to lunch the next day. It meant that Tom and I returned to Boulder on 1 May full of the joys and ready to take on anything. "
4 " I want to give thanks to my wonderful mum and dad, my brother and sister-in-law, my grandparents, my aunt and uncle and cousins for providing me with a family cocoon of love, support and encouragement. "
5 " I want to give thanks to my wonderful mum and dad, my brother and sister-in-law, my grandparents, my aunt and uncle and cousins for providing me with a family cocoon of love, support and encouragement; to Tom for teaching me the meaning of true love; to my friends around the world, most of whom have known me long before triathlon, and whose support means more to me than they could ever know. "
6 " The trip did me the world of good. I did think of ironman, but it seemed a long way away. I was able to find myself again, to feel independent. "
7 " Develop a mind bank of positive images and thoughts – family, friends, previous successes, favourite places, a big plate of chips. "
8 " To my amazement, at so many stages along the way, the limits that I thought I could see in the distance dissolved as I approached them. They turned out not to be real at all, but mere assumptions. And that has been the most exciting revelation of them all. "
9 " Because it is the recreational athletes who inspire me through the tough times, the everyday heroes who juggle training with a full-time job, a family and other commitments. "
10 " When things are tough, you get tougher. "
11 " Pick your battles, and accept yourself for who you are. "
12 " Just seize every opportunity you have, embrace every experience. Make a mark, for all the right reasons. "
13 " To be happy with myself and always make others happy. To be confident and give others confidence in themselves. To smile, to surf, to laugh and make others laugh. To read more widely. To try to be more tolerant of my weaknesses and of others, and not to be so hard on myself all the time. "
14 " If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl.-Martin Luther King "
15 " ...Life is nothing but a habit. Get to work. "
16 " I'm a warrior and a fighter, I race fair and I race clean. "
17 " I had to make the most of it; I had to make the most of me. There could be no slack, anywhere, not in my time, not in my head, not across my skin. If there were any, the guilt wouldn't bear thinking about. "
18 " Live...More than your neighbors.Unleash yourself upon the world and go places. Go now. Giggle, no, laugh.No... stay out past dark, And bark at the moon like the wild dog that you are.Understand that this is not a dress rehearsal.This is it... your life.Face your fears and live your dreams.Take it in.Yes, every chance you get...come close.And, by all means, whatever you do...Get it on film. "
19 " i think, then i pick, and then i stick. and nothing shifts me more from my view. no bad races, no bad sessions, no bad moods. "
20 " ...some sessions are stars and some sessions are stones, but in the end they are all rocks and we build upon them. "
