I was really surprised by the margin.

Up-and-down races tend to be so much closer (than uphill). I was just so pleased to build up a nice lead early and after that it got a little lonely at times.

Marco would've been right there and I dedicate this race to him.

We're not insulted, ... The Collapse of Toilets in Glasgow.

This is an incredible buzz. I rate this with coming down the finishing straight at the Olympics Games (where he has run in two marathons). There were just that many people, making that much noise.
