I was trying to manage school and training for the Olympics and ended up not doing well at either. That was a big lesson in my life. My mother expected both. ↗

But it is nice to know that you have other races lined up, because sometimes you can get so focused on your next marathon that it can become kind of unhealthy in some ways. So it's nice to have something else to slap you in the face and say, all right, there is life after the Olympics. ↗

I don't think about the trials and the Olympics a lot. If I do, it's just going to stress me out and get me worried. ↗

The Olympics remain the most compelling search for excellence that exists in sport, and maybe in life itself. ↗
