The day before Bec McConnell races for Australia's first medal in Olympic mountain biking, her husband and coach Dan has his own mission.
Dan is racing at his fourth Olympics on Monday and has improved at each Games, finishing 39th, 21st and most recently 16th in Rio.
Now he wants to work into the top 10 during his race, knowing that would give him the springboard for a big result.
But more than anything, he just wants his race to go smoothly.
"I haven't had the best races previously at the Olympics, I've had a little bit of bad luck with mechanicals and what-not," he said.
"Just the last few weeks, things have started to click pretty nicely and I've turned up in pretty good shape.
"It's a super-challenging course here, it's going to be fairly close racing."
On Tuesday, he will nervously look on as Bec tries to make Australian mountain biking history at the Games.
Australia's best results have been Mary Grigson's sixth and Cadel Evans' seventh at the Sydney Olympics.
But Henderson has gone to a new level with bronze medals at the past two world championships.
"It never is super-easy to watch her - it's quite stressful," he said.
"But at the same time ... we're fairly used to it now.
"It seems to working pretty good at the moment and especially to see Bec riding so well, it's quite rewarding for me."
