- "If you look at the splits, we were about 15th at the mile mark and ended up finishing 12th which is great. Michelle put up another top finish that the women have ever had besides Blanca winning this race a couple of years ago. I think we can be in a place a year from now where we can take a step forward. We have some people at home right now that we think will make differences for us in the future."
