awesome finish hope level medals pocket worry
I've got a 10K to worry about. He's got two medals in his pocket so he's done great. He's competed at an awesome level and I hope to go and finish it for our team.
happened medals three tops tough train year
It's better it happened now than at the Olympics, which we train for our whole lives. You can say I got three medals at the Olympics, but it's been a really tough year for me and this just tops it off.
five medals worse
The five medals isn't a big thing. The most important thing for me right now is to go out and have fun. Things could be a lot worse right now.
felt left medals
I felt I left a lot of medals out there.
few happy head hold left medals skate
I'm very happy with my accomplishments. But at the same time, I feel like I left a lot of medals out there. I didn't skate perfect. I let myself down a few times, but I have to hold my head high.
everybody happiness happy houston interested introduce people relationships
I was really happy to introduce Houston to a new sport, and I just want to let everybody know how interested I am to have relationships with people from my own city. I want to make a difference.
people
Let me tell you, we've never been buddies. We've been acquaintances but it's never been more than that. So for people to think there's a big problem, it was crazy.
eric
Speculation of doing what Eric did, I would like to downplay that a little bit.
determine guys selfish
He's doing what he has to do. You guys can determine if he's being selfish or not.
fifth jones moving picked race roy
I'm like Roy Jones Jr. moving up to heavyweight. I picked up a new race and I got fifth in the world. I think that's pretty good.
talked
I haven't talked to him. And probably won't talk to him.
hockey ice speed watched
I watched the ice hockey and never even glanced at the speed skating.
adrenaline nervous pressure pumping
That's the way I put pressure on myself. It makes me more nervous, and the more nervous I am, the more adrenaline I have pumping through my body.
energy expected gone laps race stay strategy
If I would have been the back, with the energy I had left, I probably could have gone through more laps when the race was done. The strategy we set out backfired on us. We expected KC to be able to stay in there and KC expected to stay. It wasn't in the cards.
