One Mile at a Time

Friday was the 2k Steeple Chase at Great Southwest. There were five guys racing it from Utah. It was Nate Hanson, Talon Rodriguez, Joe Buck, Carson Wilkins and myself. I was seeded tenth. Timo had us do a lap and then hurdle drills but I've never hurdled the steeples so I didn't do too much practice there. I warmed up with Talon doing 1.5 miles then I drained my legs, checked in and did a couple strides. The race started and some kid from Illinios took it out in first followed by Fenner from Colorado and myself and Carson. After the first lap the Illinios kid had died and it was Fenner in the lead followed by me. It stayed this way until about one and a quarter laps left when Nate and Joe passed me. With about 110 to go Carson also got ahead of me but I outkicked him right at the end to finish fourth. It was a good race and I set a new school record of 6:32. 2 mile cool down after.

I raced an open 800 on Saturday and it was awful so I'm not even writing about that.

11.5 miles on the bike or something around that.

Went to PG practice today to run with the boys. Ali said he was going to go slow but that was a prank. We dropped a 6:04 then 6:12 then I let him go. Next three miles around 6:45 then closed with one under 6. Also mad because my bike has a completely flat tire for some reason and so I took the tube out, inflated it, and put it in water but no bubbles were coming up and I can't find any reason why it was flat. It's very weird.

PM- 3 easy miles with Zack and Ellie. Very windy. Shoutout to the Kinvaras for hitting 100 miles.

Didn't run this morning becuase I had a soccer game with my family for this coed league we're in. I did a lot of running and am very tired. Soccer has a lot more sprints then a distance run haha so I got tired.

3 easy miles with Brian and Ali. Very fun. Don't think I'll run tomorrow am because we have to leave at 6:45 for the airport and running that early would be tough.

Alright just putting in all my mileage from the trip. Some isn't on Strava because I ran on treadmills somedays because cobble stone running gets annoying. Also I was afraid of getting lost in Germany and I almost did haha. Pretty low mileage, I think only 21 miles.

PG practice today. 8 miles with some of the dudes. LP practice tomorrow to run with the legendary Zack Ericksen one last time.

My bike needed to be fixed so I took it over to Kevni's and he fixed. Three miles after to make sure it wasn't going to be weird if I take it to my cabain.

Ran with PG today becuase Zack said he wouldn't be at LP practice. Stewart Falls today, always a fun one. I was worried about my right ankle but I didn't roll it or anything so that's good. Drove up a bunch of hood rats to Sundance for the run which was fun. Taking my bike to my cabin because running there isn't much fun.
