Craig Mottram Quotations

In the past few years I've always run here before beginning serious training at altitude to get ready for the summer. I'm reasonably fit but possibly not in as good a shape as I'd possibly like to be.

To finish the Commonwealth Games like that is frustrating.

I don't know where or how it started, but I will get around to having a look at it.

I don't know what kind of shape he will be in and how he will cope with the hills around the course, but I'm all right and looking forward to making it a fourth success.

I'm pretty annoyed about it. I've got to try to take a positive out of this week ... I took a silver medal out.

I was very, very determined. I didn't fly 24 hours to not win it. To get what I came here for is great.

Not to be cocky or anything but I knew the national record would go.

It's the start of my Commonwealth Games season. I didn't want to start on a bad note. And I didn't fly 24 hours here to not win.

I've been preparing as though he would be coming out and I've been proven right.

There are a lot of them and one of me. I'm in as good a shape as I've ever been. I'm ready to take on the challenge.
