“We built back pretty slowly, and I did a number of races this year that I feel went fine but were nowhere close to where I saw myself being at the beginning of this year,” she said. “But we worked through it, and within the last two months, I’ve started seeing hints of the Keira from last year’s workouts.”
“So we’re like: ‘You know what? When you’re ever this close within striking distance of an American record, go for it,’ ” she said.A problem at a major air traffic control facilityto and from Washington-area airports Sunday, when D’Amato was set to leave for Australia from Reagan National. She initially intended to arrive Tuesday, but after delays and rescheduling, her flight landed Thursday, leaving just two days to get situated and acclimate to the 14-hour time difference.
