Post-Olympic Trials Race Comments from Jen Rhines

Jen finished 64th at the 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston, running 2:43.35. She will attempt to make her fourth USA Olympic team later this year in the 10,000 meters. In these short comments, Jen suggests that since the 10,000 race at the Trials come before the 5000, if she fails to make the 10,000 meters squad at the Trials, she'll double down and try to make the team at 5000 meters. Jen was one of six former Olympic marathoners not to make the 2012 women's team (the others were Colleen de Reuck, Deena Kastor, Blake Russell, Linda Somers Smith, and Magdalena Lewy-Boulet).
