Pre-high school: I ran a lot of local 5ks and a few half marathons. I didn't do a ton of training, but I just had fun, and I got more serious about it as high school got closer.

High school: I enjoyed running a lot, especially cross country. I originally did track to keep my in shape for cross country. I ran at Footlocker Nationals, the Adidas Dream mile, Brooks PR Invitational, world xc junior championships, and a few local 5ks.

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: Sunset Tour 10000m (6.214 Miles) 00:28:07, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 4

Total Distance

14.00

PM-2 mile shakeout at noon or 1. I can't remember.

Race-We raced at 9 or 10. It was really late. Warmed up well, just expected this to be like Stanford, where you just sit and hold on to the pack for most of it. Well, it's been too long since I've been in a race like this, and I got a terrible start. I was 2nd to last for the first lap and ran a 69. For someone trying to average 67.0, that's a bad start. After that I ran a 68. Eventually I got in my groove, started passing people, and I caught up to Clayton after 4-5 66s. We were 8:54 at 3200m, so that was on pace, but after a few laps of leading the chase pack (I was too far behind the front pack of Cheserek and Milly to make up the gap), I started struggling. I'm not sure what it was, but I felt like crap. At 5,200m, Zach Panning took the lead of our pack because I ran a 70(!), so I sat on him and tried to regain what I could. We were 14:03 at 5k, which was not good because we were slowing. at 6,800m, Panning made another move and I got passed by most of the pack. I hung on, and with 400m to go, had enough to kick it in to run 28:07 and beat all but one from the pack. It wasn't my best race. I really didn't feel too great at all in the race. I never had a pop in my legs or any feeling that I could get moving. I'll take it, because it's a PR and there isn't anything else I can do about it, but it was a bit of a bummer to come all the way out to California and not 1. run the time I wanted and 2. not go with the leaders. Good experience I guess, but it's the same mistake I make a lot in track.

You didn't feel great, you ran bad tactics, and you still ran a PR? You've got another minute (?) you could shave off that PR.

Congratulations on a PR! It is one thing to have your workouts show you have it, it is something else to actually run it in a race.
