We played rotten. We played like we were finishing a marathon. I think (Clear Creek) could have set down on defense and we still wouldn't have scored.

Refiners are exhausted, like runners in mid-marathon. They've been pushing very hard since last year. As a practical matter, these things have limits. If you push too hard, capacity drops.

I'd always wanted to run a marathon, and now I was thinking about it even more.

Queen Creek wouldn't let us in, so we had to change.

It's pretty intense. It's not like running a marathon, but it is a mental strain.

I felt like we accomplished a lot. But it's like not finishing a marathon with a mile left.
