NEW YORK CITY MARATHONNovember 3, 2002Christopher CheboibochNEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK MODERATOR: Second place in the men's race at 2:08:17, Christopher Cheboiboch from Kenya. Q. How much did this race remind you of Boston? CHRISTOPHER CHEBOIBOCH: Well, that was -- the course in Boston is the hardest course I have I ever run. Q. At about one hour and 59 minutes, did you notice when Rodgers Rop grabbed his side, did you think he was in trouble? CHRISTOPHER CHEBOIBOCH: No, I never noticed he had trouble . Q. It seemed like he was struggling to hold onto that lead. Was it hard for you to hold the pace up there? Was that reality or just TV? CHRISTOPHER CHEBOIBOCH: Yes, it was reality, but we knew at 20 miles I was the in this race. I never wanted to go in front because I knew I could have a lot of troubles in my 20. Q. Was there ever a time in the last two miles where you thought you might catch Rodgers? CHRISTOPHER CHEBOIBOCH: Yeah, I thought could I catch him but he was, like, 150 meters ahead of me. But I really struggled, but it paid off. I had never had any quit in him. Q. What do you think of the race that Rodgers ran? Was it a smart race? CHRISTOPHER CHEBOIBOCH: Rodgers had a great race because all the time he was in front. He had a wonderful race.  Q. Rodgers has only run these three marathons and he wins two. What do you think of that? What do you have to do to beat him? CHRISTOPHER CHEBOIBOCH: Always, you know when you are preparing for a big marathon like this one it's not easy. And don't forget that maybe if it is your day, it is your day, maybe. Maybe it was Rodgers's day today. MODERATOR: Congratulations. End of FastScripts�. |
