Clara Hughes finished fifth. The 39-year-old crossed the line in a time of 38:28.96. She was third fastest at the first split, but dropped back during the middle portion of the course.
"I didn’t think it was good enough when I crossed," said Hughes. "My whole goal here was to be better than I ever have been and I honestly was it’s just that there were four people better than me."
"This was the best preparation I’ve had I gave everything I had and I was fifth best in the world today."
Just as the media scrum was wrapping up, Hughes let go of a little secret.
"I had a really bad accident in May and actually broke my back and had a fractured vertebrae from that accident in Gatineau that I had to push through a lot of pain for about five or six weeks, I’ve never experience that kind of pain," said Hughes. "I never gave up on myself and I just thought I’m just lucky that I can pedal my bike, and I get to live this experience and that’s what I’ve always tried to show young people, is that don’t ever give up on yourself."
