the first 15 laps were pretty scary today.

It was one of those marathon tennis matches. With the tournament all day (today), it's going to make it pretty tough on these guys.

I think that kind of [depends on] how he progresses this week. He looked pretty good today. We'll just have to see how sore he gets and what he looks like [tomorrow] or Thursday. But that will be something that kind of goes down to game day.

Overall, we did pretty well. But (today) is when we'll really find out how we're doing because it's about to get really tough.

It feels good, ... I don't think it could get any better than this. I was pretty consistent today, and I'm happy with the way I played overall. I think I challenged her today and showed that I could beat a higher ranked player when I'm on my game. My game has improved and I'm happy, but I'm still going to keep working hard on everything overall.

I was pretty worried going in after some slow training times last week. The times today were solid but it certainly wasn't my best. I was nervous for the first race because I wanted to post a decent time. I focused well on technical things and didn't panic.
