Got in maybe a couple miles cheering at the state course but nothing worth logging. Congrats to the DH girls on their first ever team championship!!!

Put a little gravel in my travel. 12 miles from Mama Chus to green pipe and up the canyon. The quads were feeling it today.

Another track workout. Some 800s at tempo pace w/1:30 active recovery (2:24, 2:28, 2:26, 2:26, 2:26, 2:29, 2:27, 2:26, 2:26, 2:25, 2:25, 2:26). Felt really smooth today, and surprisingly good after that trail run yesterday.

Saturday long run from my apartment up the canyon and back. Went up relaxed and cruised on the way down. Solid way to finish the week.

Workout on the track: 4x(1200, 400) w/ 1:30 active recovery after the 1200s and 3:00 active recovery between sets (3:32, 66; 3:31, 67; 3:30, 67; 3:32, 64). Didn't feel as good as I did during last week's workouts, but it's probably from the long run on Saturday. 11 total for the day.

Last little workout on the track before conference. 5x(300, 200) w/ 200m jog inbetween the 300 and 200 and 2:00 active recovery between sets (49, 30; 48, 30; 51, 31; 47, 30; 49, 31). Felt alright today, but super stressed with schoolwork. I had a chemistry test today so I've been cramming hard for the last few days. 11.13 total.

Easy 10 after we flew into Seattle. Didn't get a lot of sleep last night so I felt a little tired.

Race day! 1.92 mi warmup, race, 2.31 mi cool-down. I got out and felt alright but I think I just didn't really go for it. I didn't respond when the pack started pulling away and kinda got stuck in no-man's-land. Big thanks to my teammate Jared who helped push me. We worked our way up and still both ran 8k PRs, despite not feeling great. Proud of the other guys on the team for being competitive and racing hard. The guys got the dub for the first time in a few years (in 2016 we lost by 1 point and in 2017 we lost in a a tie breaker). Pretty cool experience!

Ended up running another 10.02 to try and hit my weekly mileage. Not sure if it was more beneficial or detrimental but I felt alright so  it didn't hurt.
