Ottey, 43, was timed in 11.42 seconds before a packed stadium in ideal summer conditions. "It's good to win, but I'm not happy with the time; I should have run a much faster race," she said. Ottey said she is pacing herself for next month's World Championships in Paris. "My goal is the world championship, and if I peak at the right time, there is no telling what can happen," the Jamaican-born Ottey said.
