He said: «I loved starting off the team. »I'm one of the best starters in the country, so it makes sense for me to get the team out to the best start possible. «Whoever is on back stretch is already at top speed, so we are going to be flying. »It was an early start today, so I felt that on the track but we got the baton around safely. «I've come off the track healthy so I can't complain.
