A guy like me, yes, I am good in terms of championship races, and that's where I dominate - but in terms of running fast times, I haven't quite done that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are a lot of good guys that I race against, and that's what I enjoy the most.
I'm very, very competitive. If my grandmother asks to race me down the street, I'm going to try to beat her. And I'll probably enjoy it!
I'm a competitor. I really enjoyed the race more than just going out and running to run.
When you are racing in an able-bodied competition, you're all equal and you go out there and try your best, and that's what counts.
When I was a kid, I was a pretty good runner, and there was nothing like winning a race.
This is a business, and no one enters a race not to finish first. I wouldn't say I'm in it for the competition, but I'm certainly not just in it to coast along. I want to be the best I possibly can be.
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 can say when it comes to championships it's a tactical race and normally you don't have a pacesetter who can set a pace for fast times. That is why you see that obviously we fall around 1:43 because that is the most favorable one can run from the front.
I've found that my athletes run their best races after about 10 weeks of intense training.
I've been racing for my whole life, and I know what I need to do to be able to win.
