Recorded before his 9th world championship race on Hawaii, 2010
Here is the last part of my talk with Chris on Thursday before the race. He is talking about race strategy, about how to stay focused during hours of pain and discomfort, and about the issue of being a big guy. This conversation shows a mature athlete who has grown and learned a lot during all these years of racing. Chris stands for the advantages of age and not the disadvantages that most people are so concerned with. This calmness, this being in his very center finally made him a favorite for this race. Definitely cues no expert paid attention to.
