Kastor - "the goal is to win. The time doesn't matter" - in New York

[Ryan]

New York, USA - Deena Kastor makes no bones about it: she is here to win the ING New York City Marathon (6 November 2006).

“In every marathon I enter, I have a goal. I need a goal to get out there and train hard.”

She finished seventh in 2:26:58, and although she says, “I didn’t think of myself as a marathon runner then,” it was the fastest marathon run by an American that year.
