Personal:

Served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from July 2015-July 2017. I gained 30 lbs. during the service and came back out of shape; however I knew that if the Lord wanted me to once again run competitively, he would bless me to return to fitness.

I graduated from Sky View High School in Smithfield, Utah. I currently run for Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

Total Distance

11.00

8 miles. The workout was pretty hard, but I messed myself up pretty bad by going out too hard during the first 1000m. It was 2X1000m at two mile pace, then 2X800m at same pace, then a full recovery, then 4X300m with whatever you had left. The first lap of the first 1000m was too quick, but I slowed and finished(still too fast) in 2:38. 1:30 rest, then the next one I was pretty beat for because I went too quick. 2:49 or 2:50. Not awful, but still slow. Then I struggled at the start of the next one and gave myself some more rest before starting it. 2:14. Then I broke the next 800m in 400s. 1:08 and 1:06. After, I was tired and let Stockton and Ethan start the 300s without me(300m jog recovery). I hit 42 and 44 on the first two, then got a drink and ran with Stockton(he saved me, I was struggling really bad) on the next two(43 and 43). Cool down after. Maybe some more tonight.

It's a little rough not having Alex with us. He always pushed the team through the sprint workouts. He has had a stress fracture in his femur for almost a month. He still was able to run fast(4:22 full mile and 1:58 800m) with it though, but he said he felt "off" before the race. Luckily, he'll run at state still.
