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.

       Felt pretty good today.  Did a mile and a half warm up, then did a track workout.  1 min tempo, 30 sec mile pace, 30 sec sprinting, with a decent recovery in between.  X 3.  Then did another 4 miles or so.  The only bad part was how hot it was.

      I wasn't going into this race way way too cocky.  I thought it was going to be an easy race, due to my seeding, and I paid a price.  I started out too slow for the first 100, and tried to recover in the next 100.  I tried a 1:04 on the first lap, or something like that, and that was alright, I still felt good.  The next lap I should've definately pushed it more.  I got a 1:08 or 1:07.  Not where I should've been, but still alright.  Next lap I got another 1:08.  During this lap I saw Tyler, Jerrell, Jake, and Adam just go ahead of me.  This was a big mistake. I know I could've stayed close to them, but I just let them leave, and thought I would catch them at the end.  I never got close.  The last lap was a 1:03, which was where I wanted it, but I had so much energy during that lap, and I knew I could've pushed it some more.  I was passed by two guys, then I passed them, then for some stupid reasoning in my head, during the last 100 I thought 6th wasn't so bad, so I didn't sprint or use any of my energy that I still had there.  Then 2 guys passed me, and I passed another guy, but I didn't get a PR or a good place, so it was a pretty crappy race for having such a good oppurtunity/day.  I knew I could've done better than that.  All I tried to say was I'll make it up in the two mile.

     I knew this race was going to be XC all over again.  I did a mile easy run to get focused, then waited for about an hour or two to start.  I did about another half mile, and then stretched.  I talked to Louis before, and he helped me out a bit by saying this race I'll be in the top 3, and miss winning by a second or two at the most.  For some reason that helped me out of ton.  When we started the race, I made sure I got a good 100m start, and then took over at the 200m mark til the 2200m mark.  I ran a good pace for most of it, but there were some parts I should've pushed it more, but the other guys didn't catch me for a while, so I ran a few 1:12s and 1:13s.  That helped me out on my kick though, which was a 1:02.  Sadly, they have better kicks, but I stayed with them for the whole race.  Jake took the race, beating Jerrel by about a half second, and beating me about a 1.2 seconds.  I got my goal time though, so I was way happy.  Then I went on a good cool down after.
