Here is my attempt at a transcript. The event announcer was Loud and Clear, making it hard to hear the interview.

Q: Jan Holmquist after setting a world record in the 70+ mile here. Tell me your thoughts.
A: It is Fantastic, it is wonderful. I actually came here three years ago and four years ago, I've been injured the last couple of years but I live in Burlington (MA) which is not very far away. I used to train on this track which is awesome.
Stephen Lane, and the great volunteers. I love that there are little kids and fast people, open, and older people. I just think that its a community thing It is just personal
And I'm President of the New England 65+ club, which is an advocacy for older runners, so next year I'm going to get a whole bunch of my friends, there were a few here. Did you notice that there was a shortage of women on the track. I have to get some more women out here.

Q: How low do you think you can take the world record?
A: (Big laugh from Jan) Well, I just got one. You know I haven't been training on the track, so I think I probably could, if it was, this weather is great.
I'm a morning runner and I don't know if there's been much research on, because I train running in the morning, if people, you know, do better at the time you train. I don't know that. (inaudible) It would be kind of fun to try.
It makes me wanna get back, I'm a road racer, it makes me want to get back on the track.

Q: Congratulations
A: Thank you
Q: Have you been a runner all your life, when did you start?
I started competing when I was 50, so my legs are a little fresher than some of the guys.
I started running for fitness at 38, so for a long time just ran for fitness., my daughter gets credit for getting me out to the road racing. She called me up one day, Mom, have you run yet today? No. She was out of college. Do you want to do a road race? And I came home with a big trophy! So, This is fun, this is fun.

Q: How many miles a week do you run these days.
A: I usually do around 30 I would think, yea, long run on weekends. do some interval workouts with the long runs,
Try to do that Saturday, ..., Sunday mow the lawns, unless I'm road racing!
I love the peple, the support here, that, that really helps, .. It is just, my gosh, I'm kind of overwhelmed.
Q: Congratulations
A: Thank you so much, thank you so much
