There was a little added pressure after last year's mishap. I just wanted to get it around.

Allyson had the option of running, and she wasn't very comfortable as the first leg. No one is angry. No one is upset about not being able to run the relay.

You get up, train, then you have the rest of the day, maybe do some sightseeing.

In college, you just thought about having fun. Now you have to think about making money and putting food on the table. It's become more of a job.

I just wanted to be me. I feel this brings out my personality.

I was a little bit nervous about the exchanges. But I think they were almost excellent.

I would really like another [personal record], and a sub-10.9 would be good.

The good thing is, the majority of [the Americans in Helsinki] were part of the 2002 world junior team with me. We hope it will get people interested in track. That's the plan -- to suck people in.

I've always loved Mickey Mouse. I even have a Mickey Mouse tattoo on my right leg.
