They emphasized changes made in their training regimen and nutrition to better prepare for the challenging race conditions, particularly adjusting to potential heat. Excitement for the race and a focus on improvement highlight their preparation for this year's competition.
I've learned a lot since last year, especially about pacing and managing the heat. My training has been focused on acclimatizing to conditions expected during the race.
The 14th place finish was a humbling experience. I took it as an opportunity to analyze what went wrong and how I can improve.
