I ran down to Nam and looked around there for a while, I came back to Alta after I had run a bit over 30 minutes and then did 4 striders. I felt pretty good. Tomorrow will be fun, East is an awesome team and Simplot is the biggest meet I've competed at! I really want to qualify for finals!

Good luck tomorrow.

Make sure you get in a good warm up.

Take in some good deep breaths just before the race starts to get some good oxygen into the blood.

Go out hard so you don't get boxed in.

It will hurt, but hang in there. Your body will get accustomed to the pace. Run a good half, then in the third quarter is your chance. Everyone is going to start fading in the third quarter. This is when you need to start taking on the runners in front of you one by one. Then keep tough in the last quarter. Remember your fast twitch fibers have been resting most of the race, so in the last part of the race don't be afraid to switch over to them and use your kick to the finish line.

And the most important thing, relax and HAVE FUN!

Good luck to you Blake.
