What is the hardest event in swimming: 400 IM

It's your 50th reunion at Columbia. What story about your days as a student-athlete are you sharing with your teammates: Last year when we took 3rd at Ivies and won the 400 free relay. The whole season we worked as a team and pushed through together. During the relay at Ivies we were all jumping and screaming. When they finished in first we all rushed behind the blocks to celebrate together. I've never been a part of a group that came together to achieve something that exciting.

Where do you get motivation from when the going gets tough: Age group swimmers who smile the whole time they are in the pool and my teammates.
