A Race Is A Work

A Race Is A Work Of Art.

When People Go To A Track Meet, They're Looking For Something, A World Record, Something That Hasn't Been Done Before. You Get All This Magnetic Energy, People Focusing On One Thing At The Same Time. I Really Get Excited About It. It Makes Me Want To Compete Even More. It Makes It All Worthwhile, All The Hours Of Hard Work.

A Lot Of People Run A Race To See Who Is Fastest. I Run To See Who Has The Most Guts, Who Can Punish Himself Into Exhausting Pace, And Then At The End, Punish Himself Even More.

Don't Let Fatigue Make A Coward Of You.

The Idea Of Losing The Three At Hayward Field And The Idea Of Losing My Specialty To Someone Who Wasn't Running His Specialty. Mostly, The Idea Of Losing In Front Of My People. They Haven't Forgotten About Me.
