NEW YORK CITY MARATHONNovember 7, 1999Katrin Dorre HeinigNEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK MODERATOR: Let me turn to my right, all time greats of women's distance running and certainly marathoning starting her career at the tender age of 21, still here at 38. Wonderful day today for Katrin Dorre-Heinig. 2:28:41. Third place. Congratulations? KATRIN DORRE-HEINIG: Thank you very much. Q. Did you lose sight of the first two won the meant joined in? Could you see Fiacconi or Fernandez after that? KATRIN DORRE-HEINIG: I must say at first I thought I see the front runners later, so by 30, 35 kilometers. It was pretty -- I saw also Fiacconi from Italy, by 24 miles and I cross over her. At first I am very happy about third place. After the raise I must also say it was not right at first part of the race, not to run with Fiacconi and with Fernandez in the front. I thought this is too fast by this condition, by the hard wind and so I run in the group. And the first 30 kilometers I thought also every time I was stop and go, stop and go, it was the speed was very slow also for me. I say you cannot run in the front, so you -- so you need too much pace for the other girls and so the last 10 kilometers I run very, very fast. So I cross over the girl from Italy and so I could make the third place. I think -- I hope the next time without so strong wind I know I can run very faster. My feeling now is so good the first part in the marathon was too slow. Q. When you can you tell Fiacconi, were you going fast? And she -- was she slow or was it both? KATRIN DORRE-HEINIG: I don't know the feeling about Fiacconi. I run my speed and I cross over and I look never back and I test -- I can,, my speed, make very high, also to the finish line. I look never back and I don't know what make Fiacconi - I don't also know after the finish line where she is, one minute back me or 30 seconds behind me, I don't know. This was not so interested for me -- I looked in front and my aim was third place. Q. Do you think any time during the race that you would win; could win? KATRIN DORRE-HEINIG: Before the race, yes (laughs). The distance between the first lady and me was too big later. MODERATOR: I look at you, I am sitting alongside you here. You have got a very strong glint in your eye which you are very alert. It must be a little bit difficult for you because you obviously regret a little bit not going earlier. KATRIN DORRE-HEINIG: Yes, this is right. Q. Will you come back? KATRIN DORRE-HEINIG: I hope for better condition. The temperature was very nice for me. It was wonderful. It was cold, so I love it. As the wind, I thought the front wind was every time, only the first two miles the wind from back, and then from front, so it was crazy. Q. You wouldn't have liked it like yesterday, though, when it was real warm? KATRIN DORRE-HEINIG: Yesterday was too warm for me. End of FastScripts... |
