THE RACE: Inside the Athlete's Zone - 10 Questions for Runners & Triathletes

If you've ever watched Inside the Actor's Studio with James Lipton on the Bravo network, you know that at the end of each show, he asks the actors a series of 10 questions.  I think these questions are excellent, thought-provoking questions, and I thought I'd tweak them slightly. So here's my version:  Inside the Athlete's Zone...

1. What is your favorite sports/endurance word? 
2. What is your least favorite sports/endurance word? 
3. What do you love most about your sport? 
4. What do you hate most about your sport? 
5. What sound do you love to hear during races/training? 
6. What sound do you hate to hear during races/training? 
7. What is your favorite curse word during races/training?
8. What sport other than the one you're currently doing would you like to attempt?  
9. What sport would you not like to attempt? 
10. If you have a finish line in mind and could hear an announcer say anything as you cross that finish line, what would you like to hear? 

What are your answers to these questions...
