“My goal was making the top three, so I am not happy with my performance,” said a rueful Bailey.
“I haven’t raced competitively in four weeks, but being out here and getting a race under your belt is always good.”
Nevertheless, he has another opportunity through the repechage format to qualify for the next round.
However, despite admitting to being race-rusty, he is not looking forward to the path that could revive his journey at the Paris Olympics.
“I have to run the repechage round, but I am not looking forward to it because if I make it through, I would be running every day after that.”
