.sallykipyego made her second Olympic team in February but then had to cancel a two-month trip to the U.S.
That’s the thing, that sounds almost ungrateful of me to say I was disappointed. How can you be disappointed, you made the team, you know? You had a decent day. There are people who had worse days than I did. But in simple terms, I didn’t go to the Trials to make the team; I went to the Trials toWhen Aliphine and Molly put down a 5:17 mile, the 22nd mile, you weren’t too far behind them.
I felt that if I went with that move, I probably would not survive and I probably will hit the wall really hard. So I figured, I’ll let them go. If I can, try to catch up, contain myself and run within a reasonable pace that you can sustain. I didn’t want to jump with it. I wanted to pace myself and see that I could actually finish the race.It’s funny how three miles can seem like 20 miles.
In hindsight, that was probably my biggest mistake. When people flew to Atlanta to check out the course in October, I made the mistake of not going. I looked at the map and thought, okay, it’s a hilly course, I’ll just prepare for a hilly course, you know? But I think it was much more than what the paper could give you. I think the people who flew down and ran on the course and saw the course physically were a little more prepared. For that kind of course, you need to actually see.
