I did my best and have no regrets about my race. It was a fast-paced race and I had a hard time finding the right position. I wanted to go farther in this event.

You never know what will happen in the 500 meters, so I wanted to draw a good position at the start line and jump into a quick lead. I'll try to concentrate on my next race to make it to the semifinals.

I think I was able to show everything I've got in running the 1,500 and I believe today's run will help me perform better in the races to come.
