I was interviewed during practice today! An intern from the local paper, the North Lake Travis Log Newspaper, came out at 8:30am to take photos and hear my story. I was impressed with the questions he asked, and the whole thing went over very well. I'm much better at interviews now than I was four years ago, but it's never a completely comfortable experience. Ah, well. If I can, I'll share some of the article when the paper comes out this Thursday. :)

I've been having fun watching recorded Olympics on our TiVO. I've seen all the Phelps races, but it's so inspiring to see him keep winning. Rewind. Win! Rewind. Win! I wish real sports were so easy, haha!

For those of you who still want in on the interviews, I'm posting a link to a radio interview that the local NPR station did for me in early July. Here's what I wrote on my personal blog when it happened:

I am on the radio! And you can actually listen to the story this time!!!

The story is titled "Austin Athletes Prep for Paralympics" and is a short blurb about how we don't receive as much money or recognition as Olympians. I didn't know he was going to take this angle when he came to interview me last week, but I was eloquent on a number of subjects and I'm proud of this one. Good publicity--and besides, he put me on with Mark Zupan. That guy ALWAYS knows what to say in front of a mic.
