My name's 14 00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: Carrie Tollefson, I'm an Olympian and a member of the 15 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,050 Speaker 2: broadcast team, and today's special episode is with the champions 16 00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:59,670 Speaker 2: from today's Mastercard New York Mini 10K. On today's episode, 17 00:00:59,670 --> 00:01:03,810 Speaker 2: we have 2025 Mastercard Mini 10K Champion Hellen Obiri. We 18 00:01:03,810 --> 00:01:09,149 Speaker 2: also have six- time wheelchair champion Susannah Scaroni. And today 19 00:01:09,150 --> 00:01:13,170 Speaker 2: in second place she ran the fastest American time ever 20 00:01:13,170 --> 00:01:16,590 Speaker 2: at the Mastercard New York Mini 10K, we have Weini 21 00:01:16,650 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: Kelati and let's get after it. Okay, Helen. Oh, my. 22 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,459 Speaker 2: Okay. Today you got to crack the tape of the 23 00:01:23,459 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: 10K. You didn't have to run like 26 miles, you just 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,340 Speaker 2: had to run six. How does it feel? 25 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:36,060 Speaker 3: I felt so good. Winning was amazing to me. Seeing 26 00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:39,990 Speaker 3: how my leg will be doing 6. 2 miles. So 27 00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:41,071 Speaker 3: honestly I say it was tough, but I made it. 28 00:01:41,070 --> 00:01:45,209 Speaker 2: Yeah, you did make it. So let's talk about the 29 00:01:45,209 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: race a little bit. You were up in that pack, 30 00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,710 Speaker 2: not necessarily pushing the pace for the early stages, but 31 00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:54,750 Speaker 2: you were there. Talk us through the first 5K. What 32 00:01:54,750 --> 00:01:55,350 Speaker 2: were you thinking? 33 00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:59,100 Speaker 3: Before my mind I was like, let me try to hang 34 00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 3: out with the ladies because honestly for me, I like 35 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:08,100 Speaker 3: the pace when I push the pace, but it doesn't tell me, now this time 36 00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:09,630 Speaker 3: try to be patient. 37 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,389 Speaker 2: We were talking about your sub- 2 800, I mean 38 00:02:12,389 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: it's been a little while. When was the last time 39 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,780 Speaker 2: you ran a competitive 800 meters? 40 00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:19,861 Speaker 3: Even I can't remember, more than 10 years ago. 41 00:02:19,861 --> 00:02:23,070 Speaker 2: But I mean it's pretty amazing. This was before the super 42 00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:27,030 Speaker 2: shoes, Hellen, and you ran sub- 2 and then now 43 00:02:27,030 --> 00:02:30,151 Speaker 2: you have run so fast for the marathon. Is it 217? 44 00:02:30,151 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 3: 217, yes. 45 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,730 Speaker 2: Yeah, which is amazing. You did that in Boston and 46 00:02:35,850 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 2: you've won here in New York, you've won in Boston, 47 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,030 Speaker 2: you've won Olympic and World Championship medals. What is there 48 00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: left that you really want to do? Is it just 49 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,190 Speaker 2: that every time you tow the line you love competing? 50 00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:50,430 Speaker 3: For me, what comes into my mind, I say there are 51 00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:54,510 Speaker 3: so many people watching in (inaudible) and when I'm 52 00:02:54,510 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: start line I would say I'm the best and I'm 53 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,001 Speaker 3: here to give out my best and honestly if I (inaudible) 54 00:03:01,001 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 3: , I try to do my best, so I give out my best. 55 00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: Oh, I wish we all live like that in life. 56 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: If we could just say when we're in a boardroom 57 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,070 Speaker 2: that we are the best, think of that. That's pretty 58 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: cool that you believe that and you run that way 59 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,669 Speaker 2: with 800 meters to go today. You are still in 60 00:03:20,669 --> 00:03:23,669 Speaker 2: a pack, but you and Weini were starting to move. 61 00:03:23,669 --> 00:03:25,410 Speaker 2: I guess it was at a mile to go. You 62 00:03:25,410 --> 00:03:27,180 Speaker 2: were still in a pack and then Weini kind of 63 00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: put some separation. The mind was still calm or were 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: you starting to feel a sense of urgency to get going? 65 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,340 Speaker 3: My mind was like Weini is good. Oh, my. Weini is here with me. She's 66 00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:41,790 Speaker 3: a track runner and I'm a marathoner. I'm coming from a tough 67 00:03:41,790 --> 00:03:47,100 Speaker 3: marathon of course, but for the last one week I've been doing good 68 00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:49,771 Speaker 3: speed work. Weini's got a very good speed work. 69 00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:49,772 Speaker 2: Okay. 70 00:03:49,771 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: And Laura was there with me saying, "Hellen, you got this." And then for me, I got in my mind I do so well speed work, so I have my legs to kick 71 00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:04,980 Speaker 3: because I did 400 of what was called 365 a marathon. 72 00:04:04,980 --> 00:04:05,580 Speaker 2: Oh, nice. 73 00:04:05,580 --> 00:04:09,990 Speaker 3: So I said I have everything to take this one. So I didn't want to wait until the 74 00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:13,380 Speaker 3: end because I know this a hopping and then go 75 00:04:13,380 --> 00:04:18,060 Speaker 3: straight. So for me, I say I'm not good at hopping, so I'll try not to go between hopping. Yeah. 76 00:04:20,339 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 2: How hard is that? I think even the life lessons 77 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,020 Speaker 2: that this sport teaches us is so amazing, but for 78 00:04:28,020 --> 00:04:30,750 Speaker 2: you to know that you could have taken that lead 79 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,339 Speaker 2: and potentially have won the race anyway. But because you 80 00:04:35,339 --> 00:04:38,130 Speaker 2: and Coach Nathan or Coach Kelsey or Laura, whoever was 81 00:04:38,130 --> 00:04:40,890 Speaker 2: talking with you before the race, they said, " We want 82 00:04:40,890 --> 00:04:43,529 Speaker 2: you to be patient. We want you to sit." How 83 00:04:43,529 --> 00:04:46,650 Speaker 2: hard is that as an athlete, as a person to 84 00:04:46,650 --> 00:04:49,410 Speaker 2: just follow what they say and to sit? 85 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,350 Speaker 3: Sometimes I'm impatient. 86 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: I know, we've heard that many times, Hellen Obiri is impatient. 87 00:04:56,730 --> 00:05:00,990 Speaker 3: For me what on mind, sometimes I'm also impatient even doing 88 00:05:00,990 --> 00:05:04,860 Speaker 3: everything, I'm also impatient to do. I need to finish this one, I need to do 89 00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 3: it. So today I say I need to be disciplined myself to 90 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,470 Speaker 3: be patient. So there's a time I wanted to push the pace and then I looked at 91 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,540 Speaker 3: my watch, it was six point something K. I said, " 92 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:23,969 Speaker 3: Can I go?" And if I go and if the release respond, maybe I 93 00:05:23,970 --> 00:05:27,089 Speaker 3: can just roll it back. But they said, " No." I 94 00:05:27,089 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: don't want to be at this meter because in Boston 95 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,289 Speaker 3: I learned the hard way. So today I want to 96 00:05:34,289 --> 00:05:35,368 Speaker 3: run the soft way. 97 00:05:36,029 --> 00:05:36,330 Speaker 2: Yep. 98 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:36,361 Speaker 3: Yeah. 99 00:05:36,361 --> 00:05:41,370 Speaker 2: I mean that's important I think. What are you most proud of today in your race? 100 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,409 Speaker 3: I can say winning first because what was in my mind, 101 00:05:46,830 --> 00:05:50,700 Speaker 3: it's like I've won marathon here, I have a marathon 102 00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: here. So the thing was playing in my mind, can 103 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,250 Speaker 3: you also go on this one? So doing here three 104 00:05:56,250 --> 00:06:02,250 Speaker 3: times, it was amazing for me and being the race for women only, 105 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,970 Speaker 3: I said even if I'll just inspire so many women 106 00:06:06,029 --> 00:06:15,750 Speaker 3: outside there. So because there were more than 10,000 women. So if I won there, so because I've won here, I think I've just 107 00:06:15,750 --> 00:06:16,890 Speaker 3: inspired so many women. 108 00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:20,250 Speaker 2: That's really cool. What would be really inspiring? If you 109 00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:21,930 Speaker 2: came to the Fifth Avenue mile. 110 00:06:23,610 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 3: Let me tell you, I didn't know. So many people 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,469 Speaker 3: knew me in Central Park. So many people were telling me, "Obiri, just go, you got 112 00:06:31,469 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: this." So that one... There's another kid, I think was 113 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: seven years, she called me by name and then she 114 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,001 Speaker 3: told me, " You're the best. I love you." Oh my goodness, that was (inaudible) in my mind. 115 00:06:42,001 --> 00:06:42,002 Speaker 2: Isn't that cool? 116 00:06:42,002 --> 00:06:45,001 Speaker 3: I keep saying I love you. (inaudible) say it's amazing. 117 00:06:46,529 --> 00:06:49,020 Speaker 2: We do love you. I mean it is so fun 118 00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: to watch you run. 119 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,260 Speaker 3: I don't (inaudible) my mind, my health to see that kid. 120 00:06:52,261 --> 00:06:56,730 Speaker 2: Yes, but back to the question, will you ever run 121 00:06:56,730 --> 00:06:58,020 Speaker 2: the Fifth Avenue mile? 122 00:07:00,150 --> 00:07:00,419 Speaker 3: No. 123 00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:03,450 Speaker 2: Oh, shoot. I was trying Sam and Dorian, I'm trying. 124 00:07:03,451 --> 00:07:11,190 Speaker 3: I wish I could try that one when I was track maybe 10 years ago I could be done so well. 125 00:07:11,190 --> 00:07:13,170 Speaker 2: You can maybe do it as a master's runner. 126 00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 3: But now I think I will try maybe next year 127 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,310 Speaker 3: to go back and try (inaudible) speed. I think my legs... 128 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,930 Speaker 2: I think you got it. 129 00:07:21,930 --> 00:07:24,990 Speaker 3: Those ladies can kill me because... If I need to come here, 130 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,250 Speaker 3: I need to be my best shape ever because I 131 00:07:29,250 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: need to learn (inaudible) for 20. 132 00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:31,951 Speaker 2: Yeah, you do. 133 00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:31,951 Speaker 3: Which is hard to me. 134 00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:37,980 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is hard. But we love watching you race. What do 135 00:07:38,010 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: you do to celebrate today's win? 136 00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:44,610 Speaker 3: So today I'm going to go out with the team to take 137 00:07:44,610 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 3: some lunch and 10 hour travel to see my family. 138 00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:51,330 Speaker 2: Oh, your husband and Tanya waiting for you at home? 139 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,180 Speaker 3: Tanya was watching me saying like, " Mom, you got this, 140 00:07:55,260 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: I was watching you." So we say, "You wake up two times?" She said, "Yes, I have to watch you." So she told me, " You're the best mom." 141 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,550 Speaker 2: Oh, you are the best mom. We love watching you 142 00:08:05,550 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: and your family and we're so thankful that you're here 143 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,630 Speaker 2: in Boulder training and come all the way to New 144 00:08:09,630 --> 00:08:11,550 Speaker 2: York to race. So, congratulations. 145 00:08:11,550 --> 00:08:12,660 Speaker 3: Thank you so much for having me 146 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,650 Speaker 2: Susannah, okay, so I'm just going to start this with 147 00:08:16,650 --> 00:08:18,750 Speaker 2: last week you and I were texting back and forth 148 00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:21,060 Speaker 2: as I do before every race and you're so nice 149 00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:23,940 Speaker 2: to give me your time, but you came in kind 150 00:08:23,940 --> 00:08:26,820 Speaker 2: of like, " Carrie, I don't know. I don't know how this one's going to 151 00:08:26,820 --> 00:08:29,190 Speaker 2: go and you crushed it today." 152 00:08:29,910 --> 00:08:34,230 Speaker 4: Thank you. Yeah, I'm shocked. I will be honest. I 153 00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:38,730 Speaker 4: was at the Chicago half last weekend, felt like I was just 154 00:08:38,850 --> 00:08:41,100 Speaker 4: huffing and puffing kind of thing, and I was like, 155 00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,860 Speaker 4: okay, that's okay. It's been an awesome three weeks, but 156 00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:49,530 Speaker 4: I love travel and was not feeling my best. So 157 00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:51,030 Speaker 4: I didn't know what to expect today. 158 00:08:51,059 --> 00:08:52,260 Speaker 2: But today it clicked. 159 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,870 Speaker 4: It clicked today. Yeah. Amazing weather, no wind. It was 160 00:08:57,870 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 4: starting to sprinkle on the start line and then it 161 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,929 Speaker 4: stopped for us, which is awesome. And they recently paved the 162 00:09:03,929 --> 00:09:07,620 Speaker 4: Central Park road, so I think that contributed to why 163 00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:11,790 Speaker 4: it was so fast. So just really thankful. 164 00:09:11,850 --> 00:09:15,090 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean six in a row. Well, six times. 165 00:09:15,090 --> 00:09:17,190 Speaker 2: Excuse me. Last year you guys were all gone. The 166 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 2: wheelchair athletes were at the Olympic trials. 167 00:09:18,990 --> 00:09:19,290 Speaker 4: Yes. 168 00:09:19,650 --> 00:09:23,100 Speaker 2: So this is your sixth. I mean when you say 169 00:09:23,100 --> 00:09:26,670 Speaker 2: that, is it pinch me for real, who wins six 170 00:09:26,670 --> 00:09:27,510 Speaker 2: in a row? 171 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's surprising and I've been a lot of 172 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 4: different renditions of the course and it's kind of nice 173 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,209 Speaker 4: to feel like I've done a few solid ones of 174 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,410 Speaker 4: today's course and they've gotten faster. So I'm just always 175 00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 4: happy if I can go a little bit faster next year 176 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 4: and so that we'll see how long that lasts. But 177 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,010 Speaker 4: I'm glad for today. 178 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,990 Speaker 2: Well, we were talking a little bit on the broadcast, 179 00:09:49,650 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: your attitude, your mentality, the way you're racing, it's really 180 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,590 Speaker 2: elevated in the last couple of years. I mean you 181 00:09:55,590 --> 00:09:57,809 Speaker 2: had that huge scare a few years ago when you 182 00:09:57,809 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 2: were hit by the car. Was that 2020...? 183 00:09:58,801 --> 00:09:58,802 Speaker 4: One. 184 00:09:58,802 --> 00:10:02,100 Speaker 2: One. Oh, it's that many years already. 185 00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:02,221 Speaker 4: I know. 186 00:10:02,221 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: But I remember you saying, I think it was a 187 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,130 Speaker 2: year after that you were just so thankful for each 188 00:10:08,130 --> 00:10:10,229 Speaker 2: and every race 'cause that was a real big eye- 189 00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:13,380 Speaker 2: opener. And I feel like you attack each race like 190 00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: that now even going into the Boston Marathon. Let's back 191 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,470 Speaker 2: up a little bit, a month ago about you won 192 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,700 Speaker 2: the Boston Marathon in a race where again, people were 193 00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:27,390 Speaker 2: giving other people the attention when all along, I'm not trying 194 00:10:27,390 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: to toot my own horn, but I was like, better 195 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,569 Speaker 2: watch out for Susannah. So things have just been coming 196 00:10:33,570 --> 00:10:36,090 Speaker 2: around time and time again. 197 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,510 Speaker 4: Yeah, I am right there with you with kind of 198 00:10:39,510 --> 00:10:43,770 Speaker 4: being like, oh my gosh, this is really incredible. I 199 00:10:43,770 --> 00:10:46,740 Speaker 4: don't take any of them for granted. Boston was amazing. 200 00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:51,809 Speaker 4: Today was amazing, and I think my gratitude for getting 201 00:10:51,809 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 4: to be at every race, which was elevated a few 202 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 4: years ago, what I've really, really come to know this 203 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,670 Speaker 4: season especially is the community. Getting to be here with 204 00:11:02,670 --> 00:11:05,130 Speaker 4: the community, which I think this race really highlights. 205 00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you love that. 206 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,510 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, yeah. There's so much history of allowing 207 00:11:09,510 --> 00:11:13,290 Speaker 4: people to do sports and to do running and how everybody, 208 00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 4: every gender, every ability level should be able to do 209 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,750 Speaker 4: sports. And I think New York Road Runners and the 210 00:11:18,750 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 4: Mini 10K is a good reflection of that. 211 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:21,810 Speaker 2: For sure. 212 00:11:23,610 --> 00:11:26,670 Speaker 4: I feel like embraced by our community so much this whole 213 00:11:26,670 --> 00:11:30,511 Speaker 4: season and that part's amazing to be at too. 214 00:11:30,511 --> 00:11:30,841 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. 215 00:11:31,380 --> 00:11:31,740 Speaker 4: Yeah. 216 00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:36,570 Speaker 2: Sam Grotewold and Dorian, Dorian Kail, excuse me, they bring 217 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 2: you guys all in, the wheelchair athletes and the runners 218 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,270 Speaker 2: coming in. It's pretty cool the family that New York 219 00:11:45,270 --> 00:11:48,059 Speaker 2: Road Runners has built, I mean it is so fun. 220 00:11:48,059 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 2: Even Ted Metellus yesterday getting emotional because he just loves 221 00:11:52,860 --> 00:11:54,929 Speaker 2: not only this race but all of the races. 222 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,740 Speaker 4: Yes. And he treats us like family. I know we're 223 00:11:58,740 --> 00:12:01,830 Speaker 4: all just in shock and heartbroken for Ali Feller and 224 00:12:01,830 --> 00:12:04,110 Speaker 4: the fact that we got to all come together yesterday 225 00:12:04,110 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 4: at our tech meeting for this, what's really important is 226 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,650 Speaker 4: being there for our family members like Ali. And I 227 00:12:10,650 --> 00:12:15,929 Speaker 4: felt the same way. I feel even the drug testers have been amazing. 228 00:12:15,930 --> 00:12:15,990 Speaker 2: Yes. You kind of know people. 229 00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:19,110 Speaker 4: The broadcasters. Oh, yeah. It's really, really cool. 230 00:12:19,140 --> 00:12:21,630 Speaker 2: Yeah. I want to get back to the race today, 231 00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:24,929 Speaker 2: you got off the line, but Tatiana, I call her, 232 00:12:24,929 --> 00:12:27,420 Speaker 2: Tat, like you guys did, but she got off the 233 00:12:27,420 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 2: line quick. 234 00:12:28,350 --> 00:12:28,530 Speaker 4: Yeah, she did. 235 00:12:29,010 --> 00:12:31,230 Speaker 2: And she's coming off of a world record on the 236 00:12:31,230 --> 00:12:33,179 Speaker 2: track. I mean she's a superstar. We'll talk about her. 237 00:12:33,180 --> 00:12:33,361 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 238 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,630 Speaker 2: But tell us a little bit about your race tactics 239 00:12:36,660 --> 00:12:39,059 Speaker 2: in a 10K because now we've seen you do so 240 00:12:39,059 --> 00:12:42,390 Speaker 2: well in the half, so well in the marathon, you 241 00:12:42,390 --> 00:12:44,850 Speaker 2: still dabble in the track, but you really have become 242 00:12:45,059 --> 00:12:49,230 Speaker 2: more this road racer, more dominant on the roads. But 243 00:12:49,230 --> 00:12:51,300 Speaker 2: what is that like? Were you like, oh, I got 244 00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: to get back 'cause you didn't let it linger, you 245 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:54,929 Speaker 2: got back out in front real quick. 246 00:12:54,958 --> 00:12:57,510 Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. And that's what I love about the 10K is as a 247 00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:59,370 Speaker 4: wheelchair racer, for me at least, I feel like it's 248 00:12:59,370 --> 00:13:02,340 Speaker 4: a race I don't really have to pace myself. I 249 00:13:02,340 --> 00:13:06,780 Speaker 4: know can hold a pretty high intensity for a 10K. So 250 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 4: when I was coming near Tat and I could tell 251 00:13:10,530 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 4: I was still winding up, I was like, I'm going, 252 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,530 Speaker 4: I don't need to get into a drafting race right 253 00:13:16,530 --> 00:13:21,990 Speaker 4: now in the 10K. I know my strengths and I know 254 00:13:22,890 --> 00:13:25,620 Speaker 4: turns, I feel like is a more strength in mine than it 255 00:13:25,620 --> 00:13:27,179 Speaker 4: is for Tatiana or has in the past. So I 256 00:13:27,179 --> 00:13:29,670 Speaker 4: was like, if I can really get those technical elements really 257 00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 4: well today, I need to focus on those. And so 258 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: I didn't want to wait. I wanted to get on 259 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,219 Speaker 4: those and so I'm glad I didn't wait. 260 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. So when we talk about you coming down in 261 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: distance from running in the spring marathons and now coming 262 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 2: down in distance, how does your training change? Much like 263 00:13:50,190 --> 00:13:53,460 Speaker 2: the runners, they're trying to figure out how to get 264 00:13:53,460 --> 00:13:55,830 Speaker 2: back because of the pounding. Now you can explain it 265 00:13:55,830 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: a lot better than I can, but they have to 266 00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:03,660 Speaker 2: hurry and quickly recover from pounding for 26. 2. Meanwhile, 267 00:14:03,660 --> 00:14:06,390 Speaker 2: you guys are flying across the world to go to 268 00:14:06,420 --> 00:14:08,460 Speaker 2: different races, so it's a different fatigue. 269 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,690 Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, absolutely. And I think in our sport where 270 00:14:12,690 --> 00:14:14,700 Speaker 4: drafting is a big element on the track and on 271 00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 4: the road we're able to combine our training for marathons 272 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,530 Speaker 4: with track training really well. It's more smooth I would 273 00:14:22,530 --> 00:14:26,010 Speaker 4: say probably than for a new bike runner. That being said, 274 00:14:26,670 --> 00:14:29,790 Speaker 4: we're still doing a lot of volume I would say, 275 00:14:29,790 --> 00:14:32,430 Speaker 4: but not long and steady volumes like we do more 276 00:14:32,430 --> 00:14:34,830 Speaker 4: of for marathon training. We are on the track doing 277 00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 4: interval training and so that contributes really nicely to a 278 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 4: 10K. My track competitions I had recently overseas while it's 279 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 4: to travel and it's a track (inaudible) , I feel like 280 00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:50,550 Speaker 4: sometimes I'm always wondering is the rest I get from 281 00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:53,430 Speaker 4: traveling helpful for the 10K, I think- 282 00:14:54,300 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: Plus the dehydration, the lack of sleep and all the 283 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,380 Speaker 2: other things. So are you really resting? 284 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:04,770 Speaker 4: Exactly. Yeah. I think that the training we do after 285 00:15:04,770 --> 00:15:07,500 Speaker 4: the spring marathons to get a little bit more ready 286 00:15:07,500 --> 00:15:10,170 Speaker 4: for the track helps a lot with the 10Ks that we have 287 00:15:10,170 --> 00:15:11,070 Speaker 4: kind of the early summer. 288 00:15:11,130 --> 00:15:13,470 Speaker 2: Yeah. What do you have now, after? 289 00:15:13,950 --> 00:15:15,180 Speaker 4: I have the Peachtree 10K. 290 00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:16,050 Speaker 2: I'm going to be there. 291 00:15:16,109 --> 00:15:16,410 Speaker 4: Okay, awesome. 292 00:15:16,770 --> 00:15:20,580 Speaker 2: That's the world's largest 10K on the road, so you 293 00:15:20,580 --> 00:15:21,660 Speaker 2: and I will be there together. 294 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:22,410 Speaker 4: Cool. Awesome. 295 00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:22,860 Speaker 2: Yeah. 296 00:15:22,860 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, excited for that. I'd say my next real focus 297 00:15:26,070 --> 00:15:27,391 Speaker 4: is a Sydney Marathon, which I have never done before. 298 00:15:27,391 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: And it's a new major. 299 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,180 Speaker 4: A new major, yep. My husband and I will go 300 00:15:33,180 --> 00:15:33,690 Speaker 4: to that one. 301 00:15:33,690 --> 00:15:34,770 Speaker 2: And it's in August? 302 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,401 Speaker 4: Yes, August 31st. 303 00:15:35,401 --> 00:15:38,340 Speaker 2: Okay. And then that will fit in then to be 304 00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: able to do your normal fall? 305 00:15:42,570 --> 00:15:45,210 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll not do Berlin because of Sydney, so it'll 306 00:15:45,210 --> 00:15:48,690 Speaker 4: kind of replace the earliest marathon I usually do. And 307 00:15:48,690 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 4: then Chicago and New York. 308 00:15:49,980 --> 00:15:51,870 Speaker 2: Okay. So we can announce that you'll be back in 309 00:15:51,870 --> 00:15:52,140 Speaker 2: New York. 310 00:15:52,530 --> 00:15:52,531 Speaker 4: That's my plan as long as I invited. 311 00:15:52,531 --> 00:15:56,370 Speaker 2: Oh, I think that you're going to get invited. 312 00:15:56,370 --> 00:15:56,430 Speaker 4: Yeah. 313 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:56,670 Speaker 2: That's so fun. 314 00:15:59,490 --> 00:15:59,820 Speaker 4: Yeah. 315 00:15:59,850 --> 00:16:02,730 Speaker 2: So when you crossed that finish line today and you 316 00:16:02,730 --> 00:16:06,270 Speaker 2: saw that you set another course record here, you're the 317 00:16:06,270 --> 00:16:10,830 Speaker 2: only one that's ever had one, which sounds funny, but 318 00:16:10,830 --> 00:16:17,310 Speaker 2: you went that fast today. What else is on your 319 00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: list of things to check off in this sport? 320 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,420 Speaker 4: Oh, that's... 321 00:16:21,630 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: That's a loaded question. 322 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:23,161 Speaker 4: That's at the top of the list. 323 00:16:23,161 --> 00:16:24,990 Speaker 2: But you've done so much. 324 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,090 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's off the top of the list is getting 325 00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:30,510 Speaker 4: more out of myself and I was able to do 326 00:16:30,540 --> 00:16:34,170 Speaker 4: that today.

So the next thing 338 00:16:57,390 --> 00:16:59,910 Speaker 4: is I got to get a flag marathon, going to 339 00:17:00,510 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 4: get better at the flat courses, so we'll see how 340 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:04,260 Speaker 4: Chicago and- 341 00:17:04,290 --> 00:17:05,369 Speaker 2: There's something you have to work on. 342 00:17:05,369 --> 00:17:07,710 Speaker 4: ... London go, some goals of mine. 343 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,310 Speaker 2: Okay, well, Susannah, congratulations. We can't wait to see you. 344 00:17:11,340 --> 00:17:13,530 Speaker 2: Continue to race and we'll see you here next year hopefully. 345 00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:14,940 Speaker 4: Yeah. Awesome. Sounds good, thanks. 346 00:17:15,450 --> 00:17:19,500 Speaker 2: All right, Weini. Today you're second overall but the fastest 347 00:17:19,500 --> 00:17:22,500 Speaker 2: American ever to run on this course. When you hear 348 00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,168 Speaker 2: that, what does it feel like? What are you thinking? 349 00:17:25,770 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 5: It feels amazing. I didn't know what I was thinking, but I was just 350 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,890 Speaker 5: like, I did not know how fast we were going. 351 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,250 Speaker 5: But it was just great to see my fellow American runners 352 00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:37,710 Speaker 5: that leading the race and I was like, okay, I 353 00:17:37,710 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 5: didn't plan it for this, but you are going to 354 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,109 Speaker 5: make me to go the front because I can't... When you 355 00:17:43,109 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 5: see they're doing their part, you have to step at 356 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,690 Speaker 5: the front and push the brakes too. But it's amazing. 357 00:17:51,180 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 2: I really liked what you said in your post- race 358 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,100 Speaker 2: interview you talked about how it was so fun to 359 00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 2: run the race but also to help Amanda Vestri who 360 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,139 Speaker 2: ended up placing six today. But she was one of 361 00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:04,770 Speaker 2: those Americans, she was the one leading the race until 362 00:18:04,770 --> 00:18:06,300 Speaker 2: you were like, okay, I'm going to get out there 363 00:18:06,300 --> 00:18:06,810 Speaker 2: with her. 364 00:18:07,050 --> 00:18:10,950 Speaker 5: Yeah. As soon as we started the race, Emma and 365 00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:13,619 Speaker 5: her was at the front and I was like, I 366 00:18:13,619 --> 00:18:16,260 Speaker 5: want to stay in the back. But when I see 367 00:18:16,260 --> 00:18:17,730 Speaker 5: them I was like, okay, I have to be there 368 00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:22,169 Speaker 5: with them. And it's great. It feels like you are 369 00:18:22,170 --> 00:18:28,470 Speaker 5: running individually, wherever you do matters, but at the same 370 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:32,310 Speaker 5: time you have to think that either of us have 371 00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:35,460 Speaker 5: to be in the podium. So when I ran and 372 00:18:35,460 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 5: I was just thinking, especially when the race gets a lot 373 00:18:39,180 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 5: harder at the end and I was like, hopefully we 374 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,350 Speaker 5: got this because we pushed from all the way to 375 00:18:46,350 --> 00:18:48,869 Speaker 5: the race and I feel like, okay, we need to be there. 376 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,270 Speaker 2: I thought it was so neat too because you are 377 00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: running against each other. You want to beat each other. 378 00:18:53,670 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: But we're in this race today where, well, you were 379 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,690 Speaker 2: in it, I was just running my mouth, not my 380 00:18:57,690 --> 00:19:01,379 Speaker 2: legs. I was at finish line or at the desk 381 00:19:01,650 --> 00:19:05,490 Speaker 2: with the TV. But you are out there with almost 382 00:19:05,490 --> 00:19:08,310 Speaker 2: 10,000 runners they said is what started the race today. 383 00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:11,670 Speaker 2: All women. In a race that has such history and 384 00:19:11,670 --> 00:19:14,609 Speaker 2: you after the race take the time to lift up 385 00:19:14,609 --> 00:19:18,330 Speaker 2: your fellow competitors. And to me that really meant something. 386 00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 2: I'm older now in this sport and I've been through 387 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,369 Speaker 2: things that you've been through, been at the Olympic Games, 388 00:19:23,369 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 2: NCAA Championships and you do, you have this competitive edge, 389 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: but at the same time you also really enjoy the 390 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,950 Speaker 2: camaraderie of your teammates and your fellow competitors. 391 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,850 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's very important to share on each 392 00:19:35,850 --> 00:19:39,149 Speaker 5: other I think. I know I'm very competitive when it 393 00:19:39,150 --> 00:19:43,020 Speaker 5: comes to the race. Sometimes you don't feel like you're 394 00:19:43,020 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 5: doing enough to lift each other, but we have to do 395 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,260 Speaker 5: that. And I was so happy that when I hear 396 00:19:49,260 --> 00:19:52,950 Speaker 5: this is only women's race and so many womens were at the 397 00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:56,700 Speaker 5: set line, which is amazing. And I was talking to Sam 398 00:19:57,630 --> 00:20:00,900 Speaker 5: yesterday and he goes like this race had been held 399 00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:04,410 Speaker 5: for 53 years. That's amazing. 400 00:20:04,410 --> 00:20:04,471 Speaker 2: I know. 401 00:20:04,471 --> 00:20:11,369 Speaker 5: And as I said, just being with this great womens 402 00:20:11,369 --> 00:20:14,369 Speaker 5: out there, it just means so much. 403 00:20:14,369 --> 00:20:14,698 Speaker 2: Yeah. 404 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,649 Speaker 5: As a runner, I said like I'm competitive. But it's 405 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,660 Speaker 5: also important to bring that respect for everyone for what 406 00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:29,250 Speaker 5: they're doing in the sport. Also, me being competitive at 407 00:20:29,250 --> 00:20:34,410 Speaker 5: the same time, very cheerful for everyone. I have seen 408 00:20:34,410 --> 00:20:38,550 Speaker 5: them racing, whether it's road race, we're going to see 409 00:20:38,550 --> 00:20:42,570 Speaker 5: each other a lot, whether it's in the track or in the road racing. 410 00:20:42,869 --> 00:20:49,830 Speaker 5: So it's good that to... How are we going to explain 411 00:20:49,830 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 5: this? To cheer them on and lift each other and 412 00:20:57,510 --> 00:21:03,090 Speaker 5: it brings the sport to be friendly. So I like it. 413 00:21:03,090 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 2: And the better they run, the better you run. I 414 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,010 Speaker 2: mean one of my favorite things about you, Weini, is 415 00:21:08,010 --> 00:21:10,410 Speaker 2: when I've interviewed you before, I mean you love to 416 00:21:10,410 --> 00:21:14,369 Speaker 2: compete, you love to run fast. That's a quote, " I 417 00:21:14,369 --> 00:21:17,310 Speaker 2: just love to run fast." You don't mind hurting, you 418 00:21:17,310 --> 00:21:19,380 Speaker 2: don't mind going out there and setting a pace that 419 00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: is really hard. How do you get there? As a 420 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,270 Speaker 2: person, as a woman, how do you get to the 421 00:21:24,270 --> 00:21:27,810 Speaker 2: point where not that you love pain, but that you're 422 00:21:27,810 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 2: okay with seeing how hard you actually can do something 423 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,500 Speaker 2: in life? You're in this moment right now where this 424 00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 2: is just normal for you. This is your job, you 425 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 2: love to do it, but not everybody knows how to 426 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,300 Speaker 2: really get the most out of themselves. And you do 427 00:21:42,300 --> 00:21:43,859 Speaker 2: that almost daily. 428 00:21:44,730 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 5: Well, I think it depends on your training and then 429 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 5: also you have to work mentally to be ready. No 430 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,970 Speaker 5: one loves pain, but the good thing is the reward 431 00:21:57,300 --> 00:22:01,890 Speaker 5: you get after you do well after the race. So 432 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:05,970 Speaker 5: you got to train hard where sometimes it felt like, 433 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,129 Speaker 5: oh my God, I didn't know if I'm doing enough. 434 00:22:08,580 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 5: Especially when you feel like you short of one race that you 435 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,109 Speaker 5: really wanted to win. But no matter what, you have 436 00:22:16,109 --> 00:22:19,859 Speaker 5: to keep going. And I like the race when it 437 00:22:19,859 --> 00:22:24,419 Speaker 5: starts from the gun, it just give me confidence that 438 00:22:24,450 --> 00:22:28,290 Speaker 5: okay, it's going to hurt but you have to go 439 00:22:28,290 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 5: for it. You don't have to be scared. And as 440 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 5: I always said, you don't have to have that if 441 00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:39,210 Speaker 5: question in your mind. It's like if I was doing 442 00:22:39,210 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 5: it in different way, I could have done it better. 443 00:22:42,210 --> 00:22:45,659 Speaker 5: And you just have to go out and do your thing. 444 00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:50,970 Speaker 2: Yeah, do your thing. So today you are right behind a two- 445 00:22:50,970 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: time Olympic medalist, a two- time world champion. You're also 446 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,690 Speaker 2: behind this woman that has won the New York City 447 00:22:57,690 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 2: Marathon, the Boston Marathon. What is it like to battle 448 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,590 Speaker 2: her? And then the person right behind you is a 449 00:23:04,590 --> 00:23:06,210 Speaker 2: world champion in the marathon. 450 00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:10,709 Speaker 5: Well, all I have to say is the legend Hellen Obiri. 451 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,369 Speaker 5: So I used to watch her, barely I started running 452 00:23:14,369 --> 00:23:17,250 Speaker 5: back home and she was running track. She was my 453 00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:20,790 Speaker 5: favorite. I'm a big fan of her and always I'll 454 00:23:21,630 --> 00:23:26,669 Speaker 5: pick her as my favorite runner. She will never disappoint. 455 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,990 Speaker 5: I love the way how she runs. She's good wherever 456 00:23:30,990 --> 00:23:35,129 Speaker 5: she does and road racing, track and she can lead, 457 00:23:35,130 --> 00:23:38,670 Speaker 5: she can kick. I wish I have those things. So 458 00:23:38,670 --> 00:23:41,940 Speaker 5: I really admire her as a runner. And I used 459 00:23:41,940 --> 00:23:45,390 Speaker 5: to be a big fan of her. Just to be running with 460 00:23:45,390 --> 00:23:47,010 Speaker 5: her right now means so much. 461 00:23:47,010 --> 00:23:47,281 Speaker 2: Isn't that cool? 462 00:23:47,281 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 5: I was just talking to her. " Oh my God, I can't 463 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,659 Speaker 5: believe I'm running with you right now." And also the... 464 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,391 Speaker 2: Gotytom give us the last time, yeah. 465 00:23:57,391 --> 00:24:01,500 Speaker 5: Yeah, Gotytom. Fun fact, you know how we get to know 466 00:24:01,500 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 5: each other? 467 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,430 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. 468 00:24:02,490 --> 00:24:03,780 Speaker 5: It was in Eugene- 469 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: At the World Champs? 470 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 5: The Junior World Championships. We were sitting and talking after 471 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 5: that I was wondering where she's at and many years 472 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,130 Speaker 5: later just seeing her winning the marathon out the World 473 00:24:20,130 --> 00:24:24,030 Speaker 5: Championship and I was like, wow, that's that little girl 474 00:24:24,030 --> 00:24:26,491 Speaker 5: I know back then. Now she is like... 475 00:24:26,491 --> 00:24:26,492 Speaker 2: Just a star. 476 00:24:26,492 --> 00:24:33,179 Speaker 5: A star. And I just like, that's what I love about running. It connects you 477 00:24:33,270 --> 00:24:36,510 Speaker 5: with so many runners across the world and you make friends wherever you 478 00:24:36,510 --> 00:24:41,580 Speaker 5: travel. That's the best thing I know. And I'm happy to be running with them. 479 00:24:42,660 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 2: Running with them and pushing them to be the best 480 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,530 Speaker 2: they can be as well. 481 00:24:46,530 --> 00:24:47,129 Speaker 5: I'm trying to be as good as them. 482 00:24:47,129 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 2: Oh. Okay. So we got to find out. What was it like 483 00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:54,630 Speaker 2: with a mile to go? You still had a big 484 00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:57,900 Speaker 2: pack. Taylor Roe right there. Amanda Vestri was a little 485 00:24:57,900 --> 00:24:59,850 Speaker 2: bit off the back of the pack, but you had 486 00:24:59,850 --> 00:25:02,820 Speaker 2: Gotytom and you had Hellen. You had Sharon Lokedi still 487 00:25:02,820 --> 00:25:06,060 Speaker 2: there, what were your thoughts with a mile to go? 488 00:25:06,060 --> 00:25:08,100 Speaker 2: Was that where you wanted to make a push because 489 00:25:08,100 --> 00:25:11,550 Speaker 2: there were some moves between you and Hellen with about 490 00:25:11,670 --> 00:25:12,270 Speaker 2: one to go? 491 00:25:12,869 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, so first this is me, I don't look who's 492 00:25:19,410 --> 00:25:20,070 Speaker 5: close to me. 493 00:25:20,070 --> 00:25:21,388 Speaker 2: Oh, you just saw like a body. 494 00:25:21,388 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 5: Yeah. I just have to keep going as much as 495 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,650 Speaker 5: I can stay in the race. But then I just 496 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,050 Speaker 5: took a little peek and I see there was Hellen, 497 00:25:34,050 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 5: Sharon next to me of course. And then I see 498 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,500 Speaker 5: Taylor and then Amanda, as you said, she was a 499 00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:43,290 Speaker 5: little bit behind and I was like, these are all 500 00:25:43,290 --> 00:25:46,740 Speaker 5: great women. So all I have to need is stay 501 00:25:46,740 --> 00:25:50,850 Speaker 5: focused and try to push myself through the end. And 502 00:25:50,850 --> 00:25:53,940 Speaker 5: I was waiting on Hellen, she's going to take it. 503 00:25:54,810 --> 00:25:57,660 Speaker 5: No question. I said she's going to come around and 504 00:25:57,660 --> 00:26:00,660 Speaker 5: drop it at some point, but I have to hang 505 00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 5: on with her. And as soon as she took it, 506 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,369 Speaker 5: as you can see, she pulled a big leap. Then 507 00:26:05,369 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 5: I was like, okay, I'm not trying to give up. I'm just 508 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 5: going to follow her and push all the way to the 509 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,790 Speaker 5: end. I think it will be good because I knew the race 510 00:26:14,790 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 5: was very close to me. 511 00:26:15,810 --> 00:26:17,609 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was just two times in the end of 512 00:26:17,609 --> 00:26:20,070 Speaker 2: the race where I saw a little discomfort on your 513 00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:23,730 Speaker 2: face, but you look so strong. You were the one in 514 00:26:23,730 --> 00:26:27,570 Speaker 2: command until she made that final push, the final sprint 515 00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:30,750 Speaker 2: with probably 250... Right before you made that final turn. 516 00:26:31,050 --> 00:26:34,199 Speaker 2: It was when she made that move. So you stayed 517 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,410 Speaker 2: calm. Were you getting excited as the time went by 518 00:26:37,410 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: because you were up there in front? 519 00:26:39,420 --> 00:26:43,500 Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. I was very excited. I have a little 520 00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:46,050 Speaker 5: bit in trouble. I've been dealing this for a very 521 00:26:46,050 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 5: long time. I fell sick in the middle of... There 522 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 5: is in the middle of training. 523 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:51,660 Speaker 2: I guess, stomach distress? 524 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,138 Speaker 5: It was a stomach thing. There is a lot of 525 00:26:55,138 --> 00:26:57,780 Speaker 5: thing that I get tested with. I've been dealing for a 526 00:26:57,780 --> 00:26:59,969 Speaker 5: very long time, so I did not know it was 527 00:26:59,969 --> 00:27:05,190 Speaker 5: there. I got it in Houston and it was just keep 528 00:27:05,190 --> 00:27:06,181 Speaker 5: going and I was like- 529 00:27:06,181 --> 00:27:08,550 Speaker 2: But that's when you set the American record. So you 530 00:27:08,550 --> 00:27:09,750 Speaker 2: fought through it in Houston? 531 00:27:09,780 --> 00:27:13,139 Speaker 5: Yeah, I had similar issue, but it wasn't hard because 532 00:27:13,140 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 5: I barely get it that time I think. So I 533 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,949 Speaker 5: just like, I've been getting better because I had to 534 00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:27,390 Speaker 5: see the doctor and work him through it, but I 535 00:27:27,390 --> 00:27:28,590 Speaker 5: felt it today during the race. 536 00:27:28,590 --> 00:27:28,591 Speaker 2: You did. 537 00:27:28,591 --> 00:27:33,330 Speaker 5: And I was trying not to get me that because when 538 00:27:33,330 --> 00:27:35,609 Speaker 5: I ran the half- marathon at the (inaudible) Championships, it 539 00:27:35,609 --> 00:27:40,050 Speaker 5: was a great race and halfway through I had similar 540 00:27:40,050 --> 00:27:43,290 Speaker 5: issue. But it wasn't only during my race, during my 541 00:27:43,290 --> 00:27:46,890 Speaker 5: training, people think, oh, because you're getting too nervous you're 542 00:27:46,890 --> 00:27:49,619 Speaker 5: getting this, but it wasn't. 543 00:27:49,619 --> 00:27:49,620 Speaker 2: It's happening in practice too. 544 00:27:49,620 --> 00:27:52,710 Speaker 5: It wasn't. So I'll wake up early in the morning, feel 545 00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:55,350 Speaker 5: nauseous. I will even turn out the day in the 546 00:27:55,350 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 5: middle of the night I was getting it. So now 547 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 5: I'm okay. I'm good 548 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,389 Speaker 2: You're working on it? Are you working on diet or 549 00:28:03,390 --> 00:28:04,890 Speaker 2: is it a muscle thing? What are you working on? 550 00:28:04,890 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 5: I have to work on everything. Also I have a 551 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,810 Speaker 5: prescribed medication for it. 552 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: Okay. 553 00:28:10,950 --> 00:28:13,408 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going through a hard time a little 554 00:28:13,409 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 5: bit. I take me away from my training. I wasn't 555 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,550 Speaker 5: able to train for a while after this championship, but 556 00:28:20,550 --> 00:28:22,830 Speaker 5: now I'm feeling healthy and feeling good but- 557 00:28:23,340 --> 00:28:23,909 Speaker 2: Obviously. 558 00:28:23,970 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 5: So when I travel, stay away from my home for 559 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,730 Speaker 5: a while, just getting the outside food, kind of get 560 00:28:32,730 --> 00:28:32,940 Speaker 5: me back to- 561 00:28:32,940 --> 00:28:33,181 Speaker 2: You got to figure that out. 562 00:28:33,181 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 5: I have to figure it out, but I always get 563 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,990 Speaker 5: so I was just not trying to get into that 564 00:28:39,990 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 5: in my mind. I was like, I had this in my training. I 565 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,190 Speaker 5: know how I can get through it. Let's do this. 566 00:28:47,550 --> 00:28:49,110 Speaker 2: The mind is a powerful thing, right? It overtakes the body a lot of times. 567 00:28:50,910 --> 00:28:51,391 Speaker 5: It does. It does a lot. 568 00:28:51,391 --> 00:28:51,751 Speaker 2: Yeah. 569 00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:54,780 Speaker 5: Yeah. At some point I was like, oh my god. 570 00:28:54,780 --> 00:28:59,730 Speaker 5: I know. I know I have something, but then a 571 00:28:59,730 --> 00:29:03,331 Speaker 5: few minutes, a few seconds later I'll calm down. 572 00:29:03,331 --> 00:29:07,860 Speaker 2: Calm down. Okay, good. So last question. What does the rest 573 00:29:07,860 --> 00:29:09,390 Speaker 2: of the season look like for you? Are you going 574 00:29:09,390 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: to stay on the roads, go back to the track? 575 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,700 Speaker 2: We do have a world championships in September in Tokyo. 576 00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:15,541 Speaker 2: So where will we find you? 577 00:29:15,541 --> 00:29:18,780 Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh my goodness. I'm all over in the place 578 00:29:18,780 --> 00:29:19,260 Speaker 5: right now. 579 00:29:19,740 --> 00:29:21,900 Speaker 2: Because you're good at everything. You're good at cross. You're 580 00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: good at the roads and the track. 581 00:29:23,610 --> 00:29:27,090 Speaker 5: I'm trying, I'm trying, but I'm going to go back 582 00:29:27,090 --> 00:29:31,170 Speaker 5: to track again. I'm going to do the 5K Prefontaine 583 00:29:31,170 --> 00:29:35,250 Speaker 5: Classic in July and that's going to be a very fast 584 00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:39,810 Speaker 5: race and from that I'm going to focus on the (inaudible) Championship 585 00:29:40,350 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 5: after that. I was thinking just to focus on road 586 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 5: racing, but we'll see. Every time I was like, this 587 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,390 Speaker 5: is my last season. I'm going to run only road 588 00:29:51,390 --> 00:29:55,050 Speaker 5: racing. I'm going to move up to longer distances. But 589 00:29:55,050 --> 00:29:56,940 Speaker 5: then when the track comes, I was like, I can't 590 00:29:56,940 --> 00:29:57,300 Speaker 5: skip it. 591 00:29:57,300 --> 00:29:57,661 Speaker 2: You love it. 592 00:29:57,661 --> 00:29:59,100 Speaker 5: I have to go back and do it. 593 00:29:59,250 --> 00:30:01,739 Speaker 2: Oh, we love seeing you everywhere and especially here in 594 00:30:01,740 --> 00:30:05,130 Speaker 2: New York City.
