It's a competition. As long as you're still competing against the world's best, the course doesn't matter too much.
It's almost like home to me. I won my first major race here when I was 10, and it seems like this is where I've had all my big races.
It was everything you'd think it would be. Walking through the tunnel into that stadium with your country's team, there's nothing like it.
I've trained a lot harder. Right now, I think I'm paddling the best I ever have.
