I was going to shave it. It went in two parts. I got a bob first but it kept falling all over my face. Then it was off, short. The main reason it was long was because my mother cut it short when I was little and I was trying to make up for that.
I like being in the workforce; it keeps me grounded.
My last real race was at the Olympics in Sydney in 2000.
You got to try and reach for the stars or try and achieve the unreachable.
I have time to breathe, time to be myself more often, I am a lot more relaxed and less guarded.
People could see in me who I am now, an Olympic champ, the best in the world.
