We expected to do better here. But everyone was surprised by the weather. We haven't seen rain in Kenya in two months.

You know me, I just run according to how my body feels.

I found I could also be good in cross country. I don't think my running style has anything to do with it. If you have speed and your body feels good, you can do any distance.

I knew there was one point I was more than a minute behind. But I didn't worry because according to how my body was feeling, I had to take my time and see whether my body could pick up [the pace].

The race was very good. It was quite competitive. I really thank God I was able to emerge as the winner.

I'm looking forward to coming back next year (for the world championships).
