We're going to rerun the Mastercard 0:00:17.910 --> 0:00:21.060 New York Mini 10K. And listen, today was awesome. We 0:00:21.060 --> 0:00:23.850 had on our wheelchair division a new winner. Yep. Susannah 0:00:23.850 --> 0:00:27.420 Scaroni is having her baby in August and today Tatyana 0:00:27.420 --> 0:00:30.780 McFadden won her first Mini 10K. She's won the New 0:00:30.780 --> 0:00:34.890 York City Marathon five times. She's won the NYC half three 0:00:34.890 --> 0:00:37.890 times and today now she cracked the tape and is 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.170 the winner of the Mini. And then we have in 0:00:40.170 --> 0:00:43.500 our open field, Agnes Ngetich from Kenya. She set a 0:00:43.500 --> 0:00:47.610 course record, everybody. She ran the fastest time ever on 0:00:47.610 --> 0:00:51.510 US Soil for 10K, 30: 07. So we're going to catch up 0:00:51.510 --> 0:00:54.210 with her as well. And then our top American, Emily 0:00:54.210 --> 0:00:57.060 Venters having a phenomenal race in fourth place today. And 0:00:57.060 --> 0:00:58.830 I'm going to send it on over to the A 0:00:58.830 --> 0:01:01.770 team. That's what I'm calling them. Ali Feller from Ali 0:01:01.770 --> 0:01:05.610 On the Run and Aisha Praught- Leer from CITIUS MAG. They 0:01:05.610 --> 0:01:07.920 are going to be interviewing our winners and our top 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:08.819 American today. 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:13.649 Hello and welcome to Rerun the Mastercard New York Mini 0:01:13.650 --> 0:01:17.580 10K with Set the Pace. Ali On the Run, that's 0:01:17.580 --> 0:01:21.150 me. CITIUS MAG, with our friend Aisha Praught- Leer here 0:01:21.390 --> 0:01:25.260 all presented by Peloton. Oh my gosh, best day. 0:01:25.770 --> 0:01:27.900 This is the best day. 10- 0:01:28.650 --> 0:01:29.160 This is- 0:01:29.670 --> 0:01:31.440 Okay, this is my first time- 0:01:31.950 --> 0:01:32.521 You made your debut today. 0:01:32.521 --> 0:01:36.451 ... at the Mini 10K. I made my debut at the 10K. Did I run the 10K? No. 0:01:36.450 --> 0:01:37.110 Same. 0:01:37.620 --> 0:01:41.010 But I made my debut in what might be the 0:01:41.010 --> 0:01:44.580 best day in New York ever. I mean, the marathon 0:01:44.580 --> 0:01:49.680 is great, but the Mini 10K? There were 10, 000 women running this race. 0:01:49.980 --> 0:01:54.480 It was the most joyful, the most playful, the most 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.960 smiles, the best energy all around Central Park today. 0:01:58.260 --> 0:02:00.900 You are so in the running community in so many 0:02:00.900 --> 0:02:04.380 ways as a former professional athlete, as a podcast host, 0:02:04.380 --> 0:02:06.330 as someone who is friends with so many of the 0:02:06.330 --> 0:02:09.750 athletes, what did you know about the Mini heading into 0:02:09.750 --> 0:02:10.470 this weekend? 0:02:11.250 --> 0:02:15.000 As a professional, the Mini has a reputation that is 0:02:15.419 --> 0:02:18.510 everyone wants to do it. Everyone wants to show up 0:02:18.510 --> 0:02:22.590 at the Mini and it's a great time, but also 0:02:22.620 --> 0:02:26.010 everyone wants to win the Mini and everyone wants to 0:02:26.010 --> 0:02:28.590 go with their friends, smile at the start and then 0:02:29.820 --> 0:02:32.070 beat each other up once the gun goes off. So 0:02:32.340 --> 0:02:36.060 we definitely saw that today and it's really fun. You 0:02:36.060 --> 0:02:38.790 can feel the energy that everyone's spoken about for years. 0:02:39.090 --> 0:02:41.280 We are going to talk to some of our champions 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.660 from today. We're going to talk to some of the 0:02:42.660 --> 0:02:46.860 incredible runners who have amazing and inspiring stories. But first, 0:02:46.860 --> 0:02:49.350 let's talk about your day. Where were you? What was 0:02:49.350 --> 0:02:52.169 your race plan for the day? And I want to 0:02:52.169 --> 0:02:54.660 know all of the sights and sounds as seen and 0:02:54.660 --> 0:02:55.770 heard from Aisha. 0:02:56.190 --> 0:03:01.049 I wanted to take this day like a typical runner 0:03:01.050 --> 0:03:03.720 would watching a race. So I was on foot. I 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.660 left the hotel and I took the C train up 0:03:06.660 --> 0:03:10.860 to the start. It was so fun. The train was 0:03:11.010 --> 0:03:13.860 packed with women all with their bibs on. Everybody had 0:03:13.860 --> 0:03:16.740 their headphones. Everyone was excited. Glitter, hair clips, everything was 0:03:16.740 --> 0:03:21.810 happening. Get to the park and stood by the start. 0:03:21.810 --> 0:03:24.419 All the women were doing their final strides, warming up. 0:03:24.690 --> 0:03:27.090 And then I was running back and forth all over 0:03:27.090 --> 0:03:32.339 Central Park. I saw the women at 5K, saw them 0:03:32.340 --> 0:03:34.290 as I was coming back to the finish, was just 0:03:34.290 --> 0:03:37.260 running back and forth, wanting to see it all. So 0:03:37.260 --> 0:03:39.420 we really got to see the race unfold and I 0:03:39.420 --> 0:03:42.960 was also watching, of course, our friends in the booth, 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:46.560 Carrie and Alicia calling the race on my phone. So 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.380 I was wired in, but I was also live on 0:03:49.380 --> 0:03:50.520 foot. How was your day? 0:03:50.730 --> 0:03:54.120 Oh, so good. I was part of the broadcast team 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:58.740 in honor and my job was going to the start 0:03:58.740 --> 0:04:00.960 line. Did a couple interviews at the start, a couple pre- 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.900 tapes before the race started. Got to speak with Tatyana 0:04:03.900 --> 0:04:06.840 McFadden and last year's champion, Hellen Obiri, and hear about 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.090 how they were both feeling. And then I was at the 0:04:09.090 --> 0:04:13.080 finish. And it's funny, I'm so used to working the 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.200 marathon, for example, and being out there for like 12 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.810 hours. And so this race, you almost want to slow 0:04:18.810 --> 0:04:21.960 it down because it goes by so fast and there's 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.230 so much to take in. Here's a note that I 0:04:25.230 --> 0:04:28.529 will say, cleanest porta- potties of the year. 0:04:28.950 --> 0:04:30.390 Unbelievable out there. 0:04:30.450 --> 0:04:34.620 Shout out to the 10,000 women just coming into this 0:04:34.620 --> 0:04:38.400 with the utmost respect. People are so polite. People are 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.950 throwing their trash in trash cans. It is clear. 0:04:41.010 --> 0:04:41.700 No litter. 0:04:41.700 --> 0:04:44.339 Who run the world, girls. I mean, obviously. 0:04:44.339 --> 0:04:44.580 Yeah. 0:04:44.850 --> 0:04:47.430 So no, I mean, I love this race. I lived 0:04:47.430 --> 0:04:50.190 in New York City for over 10 years and I've 0:04:50.190 --> 0:04:52.260 run this race many times at many phases in my 0:04:52.260 --> 0:04:54.570 life and now it's really cool to see other women 0:04:54.570 --> 0:04:57.120 doing the same thing. I ran this race when I 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.950 was pregnant with my daughter, who's now seven and a 0:04:58.950 --> 0:05:01.050 half. And I saw so many women out there today 0:05:01.050 --> 0:05:05.250 who were running pregnant. We saw women finishing with ... Had 0:05:05.250 --> 0:05:07.770 grabbed their babies from, I assume they were with someone 0:05:07.770 --> 0:05:08.580 on the sidelines. 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:09.630 I don't think they ran. 0:05:09.660 --> 0:05:12.630 Yeah, I don't think so nor were they alone on 0:05:12.630 --> 0:05:14.760 the sidelines. They just picked up a baby. But we 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.640 saw women finishing with their babies or their kids. We 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:21.510 saw people just ... It's really cool. This race has such 0:05:21.510 --> 0:05:24.120 an incredible history, which we've talked about at length today, 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.240 but it's amazing to see how it's grown. I also 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:30.270 love seeing the Crazy Legs runners. There was a woman 0:05:30.270 --> 0:05:32.039 at the start who on the back of her shirt 0:05:32.130 --> 0:05:34.410 said, 45th Mini. 0:05:34.410 --> 0:05:34.560 Unreal. 0:05:35.910 --> 0:05:37.260 That's amazing. 0:05:37.290 --> 0:05:40.739 It is amazing. It goes to show how big of 0:05:40.740 --> 0:05:43.529 a pillar this race is in the women's running community 0:05:43.529 --> 0:05:45.390 in New York when you have people that are coming 0:05:45.390 --> 0:05:49.710 out for decades to be part of this race. 0:05:50.370 --> 0:05:52.140 I know it's so super boring to talk about the 0:05:52.140 --> 0:05:54.720 weather, but we do have to acknowledge. I mean, it 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:55.981 was hot out there today. 0:05:55.981 --> 0:05:56.279 It was hot. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.529 I was standing at the finish line and I was 0:05:58.529 --> 0:06:01.950 warm. And so the heat, how did it feel to 0:06:01.950 --> 0:06:03.600 you? You were also running around. 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.080 It was very pleasant if you were just out for 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.450 a nice walk, but these women were not out for 0:06:09.450 --> 0:06:12.150 a nice walk. They were out for a hilly 10K 0:06:12.150 --> 0:06:14.940 pushing themselves. And even just running back and forth, I 0:06:14.940 --> 0:06:17.850 think I got in three miles cheering on the runners. 0:06:18.210 --> 0:06:22.110 I was very sweaty and I could feel that this 0:06:22.110 --> 0:06:26.430 would be very challenging once you get on the west 0:06:26.430 --> 0:06:30.630 side and you're hitting those roller hills coming to into 0:06:30.630 --> 0:06:33.510 the finish, I think it would be an obstacle that 0:06:33.510 --> 0:06:36.089 all the runners had to face. But they faced it 0:06:36.150 --> 0:06:39.510 together and it really is so fun to watch. We 0:06:39.510 --> 0:06:43.080 see so much camaraderie on this day. I would love 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.600 to hear what did you see as far as trends 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.580 go? I think that's fun to talk about. A lot 0:06:47.580 --> 0:06:49.380 of matching sets. A lot of glitter. 0:06:49.380 --> 0:06:52.140 A lot of matching sets. A lot of glitter. The star hair clips. 0:06:52.140 --> 0:06:52.710 Yes. 0:06:52.710 --> 0:06:54.000 So cute. 0:06:54.029 --> 0:06:57.570 So cute. What I loved was also groups of friends 0:06:57.630 --> 0:07:00.330 in matching outfits. Like not only were their sets matching, 0:07:00.330 --> 0:07:02.010 but they were matching their friends. They had a whole 0:07:02.010 --> 0:07:06.180 theme going. It looked very fun. Lots of women carrying 0:07:06.180 --> 0:07:09.630 speakers so that everybody had a party around them. I 0:07:09.630 --> 0:07:13.260 wanted to be in those groups, especially with the star clips. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.660 What would you have been playing if I were running 0:07:15.660 --> 0:07:18.720 near you and you had a speaker, what's coming out of 0:07:18.780 --> 0:07:19.530 that boombox? 0:07:19.710 --> 0:07:25.170 All female singers. We're going to have obviously Beyonce. We're 0:07:25.170 --> 0:07:27.000 going to have some Olivia Dean. We're going to throw 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:27.930 in your girl Taylor. 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:28.170 Thank you. 0:07:28.410 --> 0:07:31.920 Everybody's going to be there. It's maybe some Olivia Rodrigo, 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.050 the new songs. Everything's going to come out. We're going 0:07:34.050 --> 0:07:36.330 to feel good. We're going to build toward the end 0:07:36.330 --> 0:07:37.680 so we're dancing at the finish line. 0:07:37.770 --> 0:07:41.880 Love it. Well, congratulations, of course, to all 10,000 plus 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.160 runners. This was the first year in this race's very, 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.130 very long and storied history that we had more than 10, 0:07:47.130 --> 0:07:51.750 000 athletes complete this race. So huge deal, so much 0:07:51.750 --> 0:07:54.450 to celebrate. Congratulations to all of the runners. And of 0:07:54.450 --> 0:07:57.570 course, biggest thank you to everyone who makes this race 0:07:57.570 --> 0:08:02.130 happen, the New York Roadrunners team, staff, volunteers, medical personnel. 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.860 It takes more than a village to pull off a 0:08:04.860 --> 0:08:07.560 race of this, not just this size but with a 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.170 reputation like this one has. And so biggest thanks to 0:08:10.170 --> 0:08:12.480 everyone who made it possible and we're going to recap 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:31.950 all of it today. We're here with birthday girl and 0:08:32.130 --> 0:08:35.221 top American from the Mini 10K, Emily Venters. 0:08:35.221 --> 0:08:38.790 Yeah. I'm excited to be here with you guys too. 0:08:38.970 --> 0:08:42.570 Congratulations. Happy birthday. Also, did you get a PR for 0:08:42.570 --> 0:08:43.050 your birthday? 0:08:43.110 --> 0:08:44.851 I did get a PR for my birthday. Yeah. 0:08:44.851 --> 0:08:46.559 Is that the best gift ever? 0:08:46.650 --> 0:08:49.170 It is. Yeah. I woke up and my boyfriend was 0:08:49.170 --> 0:08:50.970 here with me and he's like, " Happy birthday." And I 0:08:50.970 --> 0:08:54.630 was like, " Oh yeah, I guess it is my birthday." I've 0:08:54.630 --> 0:08:56.700 never had a race on my birthday, so it's fun. 0:08:57.300 --> 0:08:59.790 But yeah, a PR and a great race is always 0:09:00.179 --> 0:09:01.170 a good birthday gift. 0:09:01.830 --> 0:09:02.880 The grind never stops. 0:09:03.090 --> 0:09:04.050 Yeah, I guess it doesn't. 0:09:05.070 --> 0:09:07.589 How were you feeling heading into today's race? I want 0:09:07.590 --> 0:09:10.740 to hear about race planned. Other than needing to be 0:09:10.740 --> 0:09:12.809 told and reminded that it was your birthday, when you 0:09:12.809 --> 0:09:15.300 woke up this morning, how was your confidence? Let's break 0:09:15.300 --> 0:09:15.600 it down. 0:09:15.990 --> 0:09:19.079 I just went into this race honestly with no expectations. 0:09:19.710 --> 0:09:22.439 I just switched coaches about a month ago, maybe a 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.230 little bit more and my training has changed quite a 0:09:25.230 --> 0:09:28.050 bit, but I've been feeling good, but I think just 0:09:28.050 --> 0:09:30.150 anytime you kind of make a transition, you just don't 0:09:30.150 --> 0:09:33.420 know where you're at exactly. But yeah, I've been feeling 0:09:33.690 --> 0:09:37.170 a lot fresher just in workouts and just overall. So 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.390 I was like, I feel like I could have a good 0:09:39.390 --> 0:09:42.179 race. I just don't know. So yeah, I didn't wear 0:09:42.179 --> 0:09:44.880 a watch or anything. I just like, I'm going to 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.160 run off feel and that's what I did. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:50.730 That's amazing. It must be sort of freeing to go 0:09:50.730 --> 0:09:51.961 in without expectation and- 0:09:51.961 --> 0:09:51.962 It is. 0:09:51.962 --> 0:09:54.300 ... just see how you feel in the day. 0:09:54.390 --> 0:09:57.360 Yeah. That's my favorite place to be in before a race 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.390 is like, we're just going to see what happens. And 0:10:00.690 --> 0:10:03.719 that's the fun part is like you get to race and 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.850 you don't know what's going to happen. So yeah, just 0:10:05.850 --> 0:10:07.530 going off of feeling. Yeah. 0:10:08.070 --> 0:10:10.020 Whose idea was it not to wear a watch? Yours, 0:10:10.020 --> 0:10:11.010 your coaches? 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:11.429 Mine. 0:10:11.790 --> 0:10:12.240 Okay. Why? 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.150 Yeah. I am someone who really doesn't like to see 0:10:15.150 --> 0:10:18.990 splits. Even during workouts, I turn my vibration off on 0:10:18.990 --> 0:10:21.240 my watch and the chime. Like I don't look at 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:25.440 the pace ever. And then even the clocks on the 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.660 side of the course, I just don't look at either 0:10:27.780 --> 0:10:30.569 because I don't know if something in me just doesn't 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:31.949 want to see it. I just want to go by 0:10:31.950 --> 0:10:34.740 feel. And if it's fast, then it might freak me out 0:10:34.740 --> 0:10:37.199 or if I'm slow. Either way, it's just like, this 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.120 is a race and it doesn't matter. You're going to 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.280 finish at whatever time you finish at. So might as 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.440 well just run and not think about the time. 0:10:43.620 --> 0:10:45.510 Do you think that gave you an advantage today with 0:10:45.510 --> 0:10:47.610 the heat so that you're really tuned into your body 0:10:47.610 --> 0:10:48.540 and not external? 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.360 Yeah, probably. I mean, I've done it in a couple 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.809 of races, but sometimes people like to just get the 0:10:54.809 --> 0:10:57.780 data in their splits, but it doesn't really matter. 0:10:58.830 --> 0:11:01.140 Can we talk about the coaching change? Like you said 0:11:01.590 --> 0:11:03.480 about a month ago, so for a long time you 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.880 were coached by Ed Eyestone, you're now with David Roach. 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:05.970 Yes. 0:11:05.970 --> 0:11:08.730 Let's hear about the change and what that's looked like. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:13.170 Yeah. So I think I'm just someone who actually does 0:11:13.170 --> 0:11:16.079 really well when they train alone, just kind of stay 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.900 in my lane. I don't compare as much. Obviously I 0:11:18.900 --> 0:11:22.080 love running with people on easy runs and everything and 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.030 still meeting up with people. But I think when it 0:11:24.030 --> 0:11:26.370 comes to workouts, I just want a little bit more 0:11:26.910 --> 0:11:31.140 specificity and individualization in my training. And so yeah, David 0:11:31.140 --> 0:11:34.020 has provided me with that and I also just like 0:11:34.020 --> 0:11:37.079 his approach to training. He's just super big on your 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.599 life is so much more than running and that means 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.270 a lot to me as someone who can sometimes get 0:11:42.690 --> 0:11:45.270 consumed by it. And as we know, if you get 0:11:45.270 --> 0:11:46.920 consumed by it and then you kind of like are 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.590 in a low with racing, you're going to get depressed. 0:11:49.590 --> 0:11:52.440 So he just has seen me as a whole person 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.559 and it's just super encouraging and supportive. And so yeah, 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:57.270 I'm really, really grateful for him. 0:11:57.750 --> 0:12:01.020 I'm sure a lot of the other 10,000 women that 0:12:01.020 --> 0:12:03.720 were in the field today can learn a lot from 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.809 that approach. Is that something that you've learned over time 0:12:06.809 --> 0:12:08.880 or is that an approach you've always taken to the sport? 0:12:09.090 --> 0:12:12.270 Yeah, definitely learned over time. I mean, it comes and 0:12:12.270 --> 0:12:14.850 goes in waves when I do better with it and 0:12:14.850 --> 0:12:16.770 then I do worse with it. But yeah, that's what 0:12:16.770 --> 0:12:20.429 I'm trying to do again is just focus on me 0:12:20.429 --> 0:12:23.520 as a whole person and just do the workouts, do 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.309 everything I need to do, but it doesn't consume me 0:12:26.309 --> 0:12:30.059 and I'm not like Emily the runner. I'm Emily the 0:12:30.059 --> 0:12:33.090 person first. And so I think I just like that 0:12:33.090 --> 0:12:37.170 reminder constantly and I think it helps breed success. 0:12:38.250 --> 0:12:41.640 So going into today's race, was there a race plan 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.220 now that you are racing, was this your first race 0:12:44.250 --> 0:12:45.030 with David as your coach. 0:12:45.030 --> 0:12:45.420 Yes. 0:12:45.630 --> 0:12:48.030 Okay. So that's a whole new approach then. 0:12:48.031 --> 0:12:48.241 Yeah. 0:12:48.300 --> 0:12:52.439 What does a pre- race pep talk or conversation with 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.530 him look like and what were you hoping to do today? 0:12:56.910 --> 0:12:59.100 I think the only goal in my head was like I 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.760 just wanted to break 32 kind of, but obviously the 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.520 race is the race and whatever happens, happens. And his 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.590 approach to me was like, " You know what? We're going 0:13:07.590 --> 0:13:09.960 to celebrate no matter what happens. If it's a good 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.330 race or a bad race and we just need to 0:13:12.330 --> 0:13:16.080 learn how to accept every race and grow from it." 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.300 Because he's like, " I'm going to celebrate your bad races 0:13:18.300 --> 0:13:20.580 more than your good races because that's where we gain 0:13:20.580 --> 0:13:23.640 the most growth from." And so yeah, I think just 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.280 going into it like win or lose, we're going to 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.220 get something out of it and that's obviously a really 0:13:29.220 --> 0:13:32.160 good place to be as well. And then his other 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.640 advice was draft like hell for the first four miles. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.780 So find someone and just sit behind them and then 0:13:39.780 --> 0:13:42.809 after that you can go. So I did that. Yeah. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.600 And I sat behind Edna for four miles and then 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.090 we took a left on the west side and I 0:13:48.540 --> 0:13:51.030 passed her on the uphill. So I listened. 0:13:52.020 --> 0:13:54.001 Very good. A great fit. 0:13:54.001 --> 0:13:54.002 You listened to me and you loved it. 0:13:54.002 --> 0:13:56.400 A great student. So not only were you top American, but 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.390 you were also fourth in an extremely illustrious field. 0:14:00.390 --> 0:14:00.660 Yeah, I had no idea. 0:14:00.660 --> 0:14:01.260 You had no idea? 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.290 You had no idea you just said? 0:14:06.420 --> 0:14:06.002 Oh, no. No I (inaudible) . 0:14:06.002 --> 0:14:06.003 (inaudible) . 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.490 (inaudible) look at the field. Like you didn't look at the field or 0:14:08.490 --> 0:14:09.929 you didn't know you were fourth place? 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.099 I didn't know I was fourth place. 0:14:11.100 --> 0:14:11.730 You're kidding. 0:14:11.730 --> 0:14:11.880 No. 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.250 Oh my goodness. You were fourth place. 0:14:14.250 --> 0:14:15.361 Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know that. 0:14:15.361 --> 0:14:15.362 Happy birthday. 0:14:15.362 --> 0:14:15.452 You know now. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.460 When did you find out that you were fourth? 0:14:21.090 --> 0:14:24.780 After I crossed the finish and I think Carrie had 0:14:24.780 --> 0:14:26.910 said to me like, " Yeah, you're fourth overall." And I was like, " 0:14:26.910 --> 0:14:32.400 Overall fourth?" I heard first American and in my head 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.880 I was like, I'd passed Waney and then Edna and 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:37.830 so I thought maybe I was first American, but yeah, 0:14:37.830 --> 0:14:40.410 fourth overall, I was like, " Whoa, okay, that's crazy in this 0:14:40.410 --> 0:14:43.200 field," but it's cool. It felt like a big breakthrough. 0:14:43.650 --> 0:14:46.890 So before we sat down to chat in an official 0:14:46.890 --> 0:14:51.450 capacity, Aisha said, " Oh, Emily Venters, this was a breakout 0:14:51.450 --> 0:14:52.290 race for her." 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:52.530 Yeah. 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:53.490 Would you agree with that? 0:14:53.490 --> 0:14:54.420 Yeah, I would agree with that. 0:14:55.410 --> 0:14:55.741 Love that. 0:14:55.741 --> 0:14:55.742 Yeah. 0:14:55.742 --> 0:14:59.910 Okay. So how do you now, I mean, it's already 0:14:59.910 --> 0:15:01.800 been a great day, but how are you spending the 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:02.580 rest of your birthday? 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.330 I'm actually flying back to Utah pretty soon. 0:15:06.330 --> 0:15:07.441 Awesome. I hope you have a good seat. 0:15:07.441 --> 0:15:10.860 But we're going to do a little staycation when we get back. So that's 0:15:10.860 --> 0:15:12.270 what I wanted to do.

I decided to do the Chicago Half. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:30.630 Just casual. 0:16:30.630 --> 0:16:32.670 If I was going to do it, it's going to be this year. Right. 0:16:32.970 --> 0:16:34.951 Casual.

It was a great day. How are you 0:16:44.910 --> 0:16:46.950 feeling? How are you recapping the day? 0:16:46.950 --> 0:16:50.130 Yeah, I'm really excited. First of all, it's on all 0:16:50.130 --> 0:16:53.250 women's race. So shout out to all the women who 0:16:53.250 --> 0:16:55.980 race today and it was a good PR for me 0:16:55.980 --> 0:16:59.100 today. So I'm really happy about that, especially coming off 0:16:59.100 --> 0:17:03.630 as we discussed earlier, a track like 10 days ago. 0:17:03.630 --> 0:17:07.170 So this has been quite a quick turnaround to do 0:17:07.170 --> 0:17:10.290 something a little bit longer than a hundred meter and 0:17:10.290 --> 0:17:12.389 a 400 meters. So it was a good day. 0:17:13.020 --> 0:17:16.380 It seems like you're challenging yourself in not only distance 0:17:16.380 --> 0:17:19.740 but back to back racing. Is this a year of experimentation 0:17:19.740 --> 0:17:20.100 for you? 0:17:20.490 --> 0:17:23.550 It is. It's a year of experimentation all for leading 0:17:23.550 --> 0:17:25.949 up for LA28 to kind of pick what I'm going 0:17:25.950 --> 0:17:29.130 to do and pick and choose. Schedule already came out 0:17:29.130 --> 0:17:32.340 and it's a pretty busy, hectic schedule. So this is 0:17:32.340 --> 0:17:35.010 a good time to kind of practice to see what 0:17:35.010 --> 0:17:37.470 you're going to be good at, what your weaknesses are. 0:17:39.420 --> 0:17:41.699 But it's a great place to practice in New York City. 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:43.800 All right. I know we talked about this at the 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.379 finish line, and this is our third interview of the 0:17:46.380 --> 0:17:46.651 day, Tatyana. 0:17:46.651 --> 0:17:47.159 I love it. 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:48.388 We've gotten to hang out so much. 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:48.002 (inaudible) . 0:17:48.388 --> 0:17:49.109 I love this. 0:17:49.109 --> 0:17:49.109 We should do it more. 0:17:49.109 --> 0:17:52.350 I know. We match, we've got our pink. I love it. 0:17:52.830 --> 0:17:56.880 So I want to hear again the sights and sounds 0:17:56.940 --> 0:18:00.450 of the 2026 Mini 10K from your vantage point. 0:18:01.530 --> 0:18:07.080 Yes. There was lots of cheering people running along the 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:10.710 course, of all the women. It was just excited. People 0:18:10.710 --> 0:18:14.970 were really, really excited. Lots of cheering and it's crowded 0:18:14.970 --> 0:18:17.550 and it's busy, which is a good sign. We've had 0:18:17.550 --> 0:18:20.940 a lot more runners than we did last year. It's 0:18:20.940 --> 0:18:23.609 just such a great community and it's good to see 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:27.119 more and more women out and just people out and 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.570 cheering and kind of getting to know either the runners 0:18:30.570 --> 0:18:34.710
