Kincaid confided to his coach he wasn't feeling well and that he wanted to scratch the race, but it was "the perfect storm" that pushed Woody to the fifth-fastest 5000m ever by an American.

“[Former coach Rob Conner] was so excited after this race that he didn’t even want to talk to me. He cares so much,” said Kincaid.

“I would describe him like the guy from Miracle that coaches in the movie. When they win the Olympics, he just goes to the locker room and celebrates by himself. I think [Conner] is the same way. If he’s really excited about something, he’s actually more distant.”
