1.5 WA with Collin. Strides. Wasn't feeling bad but wasn't necassarily feeling the greatest. It was starting to get hot. The race went off and I didn't get out fast enough so I got boxed in and pushed to the inside. The opposite of what I wanted to do. It took a lil while but I got to the outside. First mile was 4:51. Bout in 30th. Switchbacks were sick. Poop out was fun as always. 2 mile split 10:07. Coming down Reservoir Holt screamed at me with all his heart and told me I was in 15th. I thought holy crap and then sped up and went for it. In the gauntlet I passed soon to be 10th place man, Jackson Mestler. 3 mile split 15:06(pr) Gave it everything on the track and closed on number 8 and finished just behind him. It was insane. I was going for top 24, even tho I got boxed in I wasn't very far off the lead. Then passed a couple guys each hill and everything came together. Shout out to everybody that cheered me on in the race. I could hear so many people and it made the difference.
1.25 cooldown with Jackson, he's from Eugene and committed to the U of O. Then hit up the beach and ran about a half mile on the beach and then a bunch of football.
