We have fans who bake cookies for the team or they make cupcakes or muffins and stuff like that. And then they always ask us if we enjoyed it and how it tasted. I’m like, ‘That was so long ago. I don’t even remember what I had for breakfast this morning!’
There are some days where I’ll eat 8,000 calories per day, on a day before a 12, 14, 18 hour swim. For a 61-year-old woman, that’s a lot! And I try not to eat too much refined sugar – cookies, desserts, those sorts of things.
