I'm not at the top quite yet. I don't have that world record, so that's going to drive me the next couple of months.

It felt really good. I was kind of hurting the last 100, but my splits stayed even the whole entire way. I was definitely happy with the way I split it and the way I swam it. And I was also happy with my time. It was my best time.

Just based on training, I had pretty high expectations coming into this.

Hopefully I can break some records, get some medals.

It's happened to me a couple of times now: People go nuts when I'm at that stage in the race.
