I have been getting back into it during the last four weeks or so when I have not been doing huge mileage, |
I have done everything possible to resolve the problem and get to the start line. I have to accept that the injury needs a short period of total rest. |
I have never said I was doubling up for both titles, |
I knew I was running a good pace, so I just had to keep it up until the end, |
I thought I was in good 10k shape, but the weather was against front-running. It was just too windy, ... My legs feel OK, I just did not have the pace at the end in the last 1,000 meters. |
I wouldn't be putting myself on the line if I didn't think I could go in and win both. |
I'm just pleased to win the race and win the championship because that's what I came here for. And it was important to do that, not just for me, but for everyone else that supported me as well. |
I'm pleased to have won the race and win the championship, ... I knew I was well-prepared for this race. |
It is a challenge and I do think it fits together well. |

It was good to blow away the cobwebs. It was like a run-out doubling as a training session, |
It wasn't easy. It was my plan to keep a good pace going. |
It went really well and should give me no more trouble. It just had to be removed as it would never have settled on its own. Now I have just had to tolerate a few days with my foot up. |
It's definitely very special - right up there with running the world record, |
