Another 5 Questions

These questions come courtesy of Holly, she actually sent me these questions a really long time ago, but they just got lost in my drafts, and filling them in seemed like the perfect thing to do while I wait for stuff in lab. 

Interview Questions:

1.) What injury do you fear most? Why?

Realistic injury? I'm really afraid of hyper-extending my knees. I've had this somewhat happen before and it was so painful that I actually blocked out the pain at first. Blinding pain, the type that blocks out all senses and you just go numb for a while until slowly it all floods back in with an excruciating throb. And when it happened to me it was really mild, sure I was limping for a few days, but not crippled, I could only imagine what it would feel like if you really cranked your knee back. I think where injuries are concerned there are lots that are much worse than this, but I can't imagine them, where as the hyper-extension I can put a face to, therefore fear. 

2.) If you could only do one sport for an entire summer, which would you choose? Why?

I would have to say biking. Its a tough call between swimming and biking. I love swimming in the outdoor pool on a sunny afternoon, however, if I had to do it for the whole summer I think I would get bored after a while. Whereas biking can be amazing, its much more social, and there is certainly a much bigger thrill associated with biking. 

3.) Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears? Why?

Britney Spears. Although she's a train wreck and kinda crazy, I feel Christina Aguilera is bitchy, and I don't think I would really like her in person.

4.) What is the best piece of advice you have been given since you started competing? Why?

One more workout will never win you a race, but it can lose you one. Motto I live by in training.

5.) If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you choose? Why?

At the moment, probably Italy. Watching the Giro last summer I really liked the country side and decided that it was on my list of places to go. If I had the chance to visit one place, that would be it. I would need my bike with me though of course.
