– Hva mener du med at du springer for mye alene?
What do you mean when you say you run to much alone/in the front?
– Jeg springer jo og leder fra start til slutt uten og nødvendigvis ønske det selv. Men som sagt, jeg kan ikke forvente noe annet. Det var et godt løp, men jeg kunne for så vidt gjort det samme i Sandneshallen eller på Sandnes stadion, sier Ingebrigtsen.¨
I am in the lead from the start to the finish without necessarily wanting it myself. But as I said, I guess shouldn't expect anything else. It was a good race, but I could have done the same at home in Sandnes.
– Jeg må se på det positivt. Det er for så vidt et luksusproblem at det er ingen som vil være med å fighte. Kanskje de ikke har noe valg, det vet jeg ikke. Jeg føler meg i hvert fall bra. Det er gode ting å ta med seg inn i en treningsperiode nå og mot sommeren.
Its a good thing and a luxury problem that no-one wants to join and fight in the front. Maybe they don't have a choice, that I don't know. But I felt good at least, that is a good thing to bring with me into the next training period and for the summer season.
I agree that he rather should have said something to the effect of "phew I was extremely lucky today. I had to fight for ever meter and had trouble just hanging on. Crossing the finish line was the main goal today, and will be the goal for the rest of the season. Its humbling to face off against 15 better runners. "
