Right now we're in the middle of our training, so everyone is swimming tired. We're not seeing a lot of fast times yet. It's just the way it works out. You can never really tell. It's a gamble, but it's always worked out so far.

I've really tried to lead by example. Last year some of the younger guys were intimidated by the leaders of the team, so I was sort of a go between. This year there's a little more stress, but I think it's good for me.
