And like Carly Lloyd, she turned to reality TV.
After years of applying, Dawn ended up on Top Chef.
Tell me more about that.
I mean, you could have just been a chef in the back room somewhere.
But you went back to competition.
On the show, Dawn was known for being fiercely passionate and competitive and sometimes setting the bar a little too high for herself, which Top Chef fans will remember meant that she didn't always get the plates out on time.
She'd make this complex, amazing dish and then just not have enough time left to get the sauce on the plate for that one judge.
She competed on the show the way she competed in the Olympics, going for it.
And she did.
She made it all the way to the finals.
To me, this all seems like what Serena called evolution.
Always pushing for more.
A new record.
A new personal best.
And if he can get on a reality TV show, I guess that helps too.
And now, after Top Chef, Dawn is still setting the bar high.
Really high.
Over the course of a decade, since she retired from long jump, Dawn strikes me as someone who has finally figured out this thing that I've been grappling with.
Though I will say it's kind of comforting that she didn't immediately feel okay about her long jump career ending.
She did mourn it.
