As well as competing, there�s the media, the eating and all the treatment!

The worst bit's the hanging around. In the rest room, it�s you and the doctor, physio or coach. There�s nobody to keep you company.

You sit there staring at a big, ugly competitor 150 points ahead, thinking "how on earth am I going to take this guy down?".
