    1. I was so focused. Everyone tried to move and I was behind them. You're not going anywhere. This is my race today.
    2. I checked my watch, I was seeing the miles coming, I use kilometers, and I was unbelieving.
    3. Every day I was thinking about the Olympics, but I have to do my training. I have to come back. I have to go to New York, at least podium, but my goal was to win.
    4. When I saw 39, 40k and I was feeling like this, I could go onto 50k. I was so focused that when I going to the finish I was like, 'I'm going to win. I'm going to win.' The emotions were not there at that moment, I was just thinking I'm dreaming.
    1. I woke up feeling great today, never take it for granted. Coming up the last hill we had a tailwind today. So I had a little more energy then I normally do at that hill.
    2. Always so special to be here in New York City.
