Our sport needs spectator friendly and all the help it can get on that side. That adds to the allure of the race. And just from the mental side it helps you stay focused better knowing you do these loops and you're not just off on the course out in the middle of nowhere. -Alan Culpepper

The Olympic Games tends to be a little more of a coming together of all the nations, so it's different. I really can't imagine a bad reaction. If it was going to be bad [in Athens], it would have been bad in Paris [at the World Championships] with all that went on last year with France. The reception was fine. Just pretty much like all the others we've gotten in other places.

Every time we tried to get going there was some factor - weather, wind or turns. I think we all suffered somewhat from conditions.

I feel like the bad conditions and the tough course is to my advantage, just because a lot of people are going to be disheartened when it starts going poorly.

In Athens, I was running in long sleeves and pants in the summertime to acclimate as much as I could. ... In Boston, there's never any area on the course ... where you can settle in and just get on a pace and zone out, whereas here you can do that. You can zone out for huge periods.
