Lidiya Grigoryeva (Russian: Лидия Григорьева; born 25 January 1974 in Smychka, Chuvash ASSR) is a Russian long-distance runner from the Chuvashia region. (wikipedia)
One of the things, physically, I wasn't pushed at 100 percent in Los Angeles. So I had some energy left for this race.
I felt comfortable throughout the race and planned on making a move at Mile 8. When I pushed, things gradually opened up.
This is the happiest moment in my life. I am so happy.
I love running in women's-only races. You can see everybody out there. It is like the Olympics and the world championships.
