Now? I’ve had to build the incentive basically, I’ve had to recreate an incentive now in the sense … My incentive is now that I love it. And I feel very, very fortunate that I have this opportunity to work hard and express myself in what I consider my art, my creative. What I’ve come to realize now is I love figuring out a puzzle and expressing my fitness basically. But I have to really remind myself that it’s about that. Because if I think about it, if the incentive was money, I could make a lot more money if I didn’t do this Olympic distance, if I went on the road and did speaking tours and stuff like that.
