You still have the same feeling of competition before races.

You've also got to take a look at your competition that's actively on the market.

The competition for labor is critical. Connecticut has never looked beyond its own border for transportation issues . . . the work force is moving north and further away, and we need to find ways to connect them.

If I can run a four-minute mile, I'd win a gold medal because no one has ever done it before.

This was some of my best times for high school so far. I pushed it a little more in the mile today than what I usually would.

Not a bad effort for our first day of competition.
