Right from the get-go, the first three guys, they went off ... and I just thought that was not for me today.
I tried to stay with the pack as long as possible and at probably eleven and a half miles, I finally got gapped
That’s very important ... I saw in 2009 that it’s really hard without it. The extra motivation you get in training with other people in hard workouts, that’s where you make those big gains.
The challenge is going to be more about going back to being confident and being very fast
It is such a different feeling now having to make the team five or six weeks beforehand on the track ... I think there is more pressure because you don't have that time to shift focus. You want to think about doing well at the Olympic Games but you've got to get there first.
You go into a very hard place in the marathon, no doubt about it, but it just happens over such a long period of time
We were out at a Nike function and Kara said something like, ‘Oh man, you must be so happy and can relax having made the team eight months out,' ... And I was.
I have never actually run a mile ... We always ran 1600m in high school and 1500m in college.
