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.

Race: Dr. Sander Invitational (1.864 Miles) 00:08:02, Place overall: 13, Place in age division: 3

Total Distance

15.00

Great race. The race went out slow, then Clayson made a big move from behind and took the lead. I eventually made it back to the front group, tried to take the lead with 270m to go, but the guy sped up. I got passed by Danny Carney in the last 30 meters and he won our heat. Fun race, more to come.

You always promise more to come--hope to see it. ;-)

You're looking good, good pic.

A while ago I asked you a question about race attitude and mental tenacity. Don't know if you saw it. Would like to hear your viewpoint.

I�m gonna bet Ed is pretty pleased with how well you are coming along! Keep up the great work. It is fun to follow your progress.

Thanks everyone. As far as race mentality, I always feel like I have to have the same mentality in workouts. Like, if I�m really hurting during the workouts, then I�ll just focus on the pain and how much I can hurt. Other times I just try and focus on other things to take my mind off it. Not sure if that�s what you�re looking for.

Thanks. That's interesting. I understand the pain is the same in workouts or racing, but you don't feel like there's a special reserve mentality for racing? The pain of workouts points to the special push in a race, and this isn't possible all the time, that's what makes racing special. As I understand it, one can only truly push themselves a handful of times per year. The targeted nature of training is for this (are you familiar with Lydiard's periodization?)
