Still have a headache that's giving me trouble but great race today. I went out at a good place and held on the entire race. The reoccurring problem is that I don't have a watch anymore and I haven't gotten a new one. I felt good though besides feeling like I was about to pass out the whole time haha. I got in sight of the finish line but I was like no way that has to be the mile left mark or that it was a two loop race or something because it felt shorter. So I came up to battle this giant corner canyon kid but I was like I'm going to look really stupid if this isn't the finish, so I backed off which was a mistake but I still finished in the same time I did 2 years ago before my senior season of cross country and I was putting in double the mileage I am now back then. I also got the OK to start increasing my mileage again so next week I will probably go for 40-45 miles or so on 7 days. Turns out that corner canyon kid ran like 4:26 this year so I feel pretty good about sticking with him. Post mission Blake is going to be faster! I cooled down with Andrew Lawson, good to see him before he leaves next week.

Way to go "Post Mission" Blake!!

Good race!

Sounds like you still had a lot left at the end, and still managed to get a good time.

Thanks, yeah I gave a good effort and still had room for a big kick. But good news is that I have a month before I show up to suu and I'm good shape on 25-30 miles so by the time I get up there I think maybe I will be able to turn some heads at the progession run :).
