I don't want people to go, "Lookit, he's wishing they swim fast." [laughs]

At Olympic trials, this was, this was bad.

Josh was swimming the 100 breast that night, and you were like, I...

You had a thing for the first two days of the meet, you're like, "I'm not going on...

I'm not gonna go watch on deck.

I'm gonna watch from the warm-up pool." And then Josh got third, and then you watched every other race [laughs] from the deck after that.

So...

I don't think people...

Like, you had a swim cap on when he proposed to you.

So this is funny.

So I didn't, 'cause one of my best friends who I train with here, Annie Lazor, she's Olympic bronze medalist from, uh, Tokyo games, and she w- she was a coach, so she told me, she's like, "Hey, just take your, take your cap off after your race."

[laughs]

But- Lily, if you, if you expect to win, which is part of what makes you a champion- Mm-hmm Do you get nervous? Did-- I know you're retired.

Did you get nervous? Yeah, yeah, absolutely, especially l- like Olympic trials when you go in, and the whole, the whole point of the meet is you gotta, you gotta be top two.

So there's usually, you know, 100 to 150 people in your event, and only two make the Olympic team.

So pretty much, especially if you're expecting to make it, going into that final you just gotta think, "Don't mess up." Do competitors talk? Do you talk to pe- like, you said there's 150 people, and I'm, I'm guessing the top group you expect to win.
