I felt a little caught off guard because we thought we weren't running until later. We didn't get the chance to warm up quite as well as we should have and that hurt us as a team both mentally and physically.

I'm just really happy with how I did. These are definitely my conditions.

I felt pretty good about my race today. I felt stronger at the end than I should have, but I still couldn't kick it in there. I just didn't have the speed.

You've got to charge the ball and know who's running. I thought I had a pretty good chance.

Thomas was running the ball well. I didn't get much of a chance.

Still, I always felt I had an outside chance because I had been training well. I have been running 100 miles a week until the last two weeks. Then I settled down to long, easy running. I felt the spark and spring coming back to my legs.
