... what was the high point of the entire event for you?

Have to think about that.

I think, I mean, obviously the end of the race when you are lucky enough to place and, you know- I think having the opportunity to like getting the flag and run across the finish line for, for the, the United States is just like surreal to me.

Like I'd never...

Thinking about when I started, like I could get emotional thinking about it because just thinking about where I've started at, like we talked about the, my background before, you know, come a long way since then.

But just having the opportunity to do that just means so, so much, um, from all the, all the hard work you put in and, and you know, all the, the time, you know, the time that goes into the training.

... um, be- before the race, or the day before, um, I try to make it so that I, I'm planning in advance, like, with, like, obviously a couple days ahead, making sure you're eating enough carbs and staying hydrated.
