Those memories I had pushed so far into the back of my mind slowly began to creep forward. Let me set the scene. The 2006 edition of the Harvard-Princeton matchup had been highly anticipated, as both teams entered at an undefeated 5-0 mark.

Police still patrol for vandals, and contractors tend to unkempt lawns, but in the fading afternoon light, parts of this eerie village resemble a ghost town...
...break world records nearly every time you race, and do it not just once or twice but eight times in a single meet, with the entire world watching, then half your battle is not against the swimmers in the other lanes but against your own demons, the ones that creep up when you hear your name announced over the loudspeaker or when you take your position on the blocks, ready to plunge into the water...
