He had trained for years.  It actually had trouble remembering a time before he started training.  It had taken over his life, his family and career.  That race meant so much to him and winning this was more important than any of this other races.  After beating the cancer he was so weak he wasn't sure he would be able win a race again, let alone finish one.  With the support from his family and coach he was able to do that and much more.  He broke each of his records with that race and he couldn't have been more proud.
