We have a very good feeling. We know what we're capable of.

It was a pretty equal race. Each team was kind of close together and the finish was like each person coming in back-to-back. I ran a pretty good race. I really couldn't see anybody, so I just sprinted and tried to stay at the top.

That was not a focus until later in the year. We definitely will be preparing to get our times down and have a better (1,600) team next year. We broke our own school record, and I think each one of us ran our best race. Considering we were in lane 8 and we were able to finish sixth and get a PR, I thought we did really well.

Other than motherhood, the eight years that I spent at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, I have incredibly fond memories of. It's a beautiful place, with four seasons up in Wisconsin. And really wonderful people.

I don't understand computers. I've been unable to construct a working mental model of how they do what they do. I can break software by looking at it. I can blow anything up. Without trying. It's sort of like being a dowser. And this extreme elaborate clumsiness on my part is actually something people will pay me for. It's quite wonderful.

Personally, I think the silent films were more effective for L&H, but the sound was of great value in enhancing the effects - dialog eliminated a lot of action & sight gags - I always feel that 'action' speaks louder than words.
