ability greedy guess hung knew last medal might minute mix nearly pack ran run slower steam time
I guess I got greedy after the 3,000. I knew I had the ability to be there and I thought another medal might be in the mix and I didn't run nearly as well. We ran as a pack for about 13 kilometers and then, basically, I just ran out of gas. I ran right out of steam and hung on from that point. My time was about a minute slower then I had run last fall.

I'd like to think I was an all-around defenseman that could do a little bit of everything. Obviously I was a physical player. I guess I'd like to be recognized as a guy that came to play every night.
