So that way I put somebody in front of me like in the trials when I had Bernard Williams in front of me. I know he is a great starter. My idea with the stagger is to pick him up, run him down before we get to the straightaway. After I get there, I know my race is on the straightway. If I am beside you or near you when we get to the straightaway then you know I m coming to get you.
Some people try to psych each other out by talking and all that kind of other stuff.
That s just how it is. And that s it. I respect everybody in the field. I know they are all great sprinters. But I don t fear anybody.
