It was five years since I'd won a race, so I was a bit bewildered.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was always surrounded by expectation from the very first race I ran as a 5-year-old.
I've lost a lot more races than I've ever won... it's all part of the journey, really.
I don't remember my first race, but I do recall various school sports days where I became way too competitive. We were seven or eight years old, and I had a very stern conversation with my relay team-mates about how crucial it was for us to win.
I lost races because I wanted too much to win them in beating my rivals.
I was really happy with my race, though. I beat my personal best by 1.2 seconds.
If I knew I couldn't win races, I would have stayed in the States.
I was the kid who never won the races... I wasn't on the list of the high-achieving.
Very rarely do you have a perfect race, and it's about overcoming your mistakes in the race and remaining composed.
The thing about it is, all those races we lost, we won this race together. We won it as a team.
I have never won a race, and that is my main disappointment - but you have to be positive.
