Notable quotes
“I didn't realize how many, I didn't know how popular things like this were.”
“I finally saw the Santa. I tried to speed up at the end. I maybe increased my pace by 0.25 seconds. There was basically nothing left.”
“You didn't pick the easiest one to start with... I just mean that it's really cold.”
“I got through about three-quarters of a mile. I'm like, this is going real good. That ankle's not bothering me. I'm doing real good. And I went in through a curve... my ankle popped.”
“Less than a mile, less than a mile, less than a mile. That is all I'm thinking is less than a mile.”
“Why isn't this downhill at this part? This is nonsense.”
