But Kapsoiya and Kipyegon eventually pulled ahead, with Kapsoiya gaining the edge over the final 200 meters. I've never seen such a big crowd for a race. I loved it. I want to come back again next year. Both were swarmed by fans afterward, some asking for autographs but most just wanting to talk with them.
People know they're something special.
I tried something new this year - moved to California, tried a new coach, tried new training methods. It just didn't work. I'm glad to be home - glad to be back with people who know me and support me. I feel like I wasted a lot of time. The women's elite race turned out to be a thriller, more for Karen Harvey's attempt at breaking the course record than the actual finish.
