Nope. Paula absolutely was brave enough to take it out from very far out which is why she always ended up getting beat on the track. She always tried to attrit her competitors and always got out-kicked because they always saved just enough to do that. BUT- it was also always clear that her competitors were running much faster than they wanted. I always said she'd make a great marathoner because it was clear she just needed long enough races where she'd outlast them. This was especially clear after Sydney.
