"As a competitive athlete, the question of how much faster and better I can get gnaws at me. Trying to find the answer is the other reason I keep going back to worlds — I’m still getting better. I may not ever be an “extra-special world champion”, but who knows? Someday there will be a cyclist from a small nation who will win worlds, so in the meantime, I’ll keep showing up to let her know that being there is possible."
