Highland invite: This race in my opinion was the worst race I've ran since desert hills track meet la few months ago. I think I jumped into this race both physically and mentally unprepared. Right from the start I couldn't keep up with the leaders and fell near the back early in the race as the race progressed...I didn't. I simply couldn't get my legs to turnover, I felt very flat and slow. I have learned a good lesson from this though and I have found some weaknesses I need to work on as I progress through the season. Anyways now I have about 12 days or so to regain my strength and confidence so that I can redeem myself at Dixie.

I know you've heard everything I'm goin to say a million times but here it is anyways. Bad races happen. Just left then room off of you. I ran a 4:53 mile a week before going 4:31 at BYU. Sometimes things just happen that way. As for your calf just remember it's better to miss a week out two now than 2 months down the road. Good luck man!

And I meant let the race roll off of you.

Nephi, I'm sorry man, bad races happen. It didn't help that your calves and all haven't been doing great these past few days. Just keep your head up high, and remember that these early races aren't too important.

Hey thanks Eric! You are so full of wisdom :) Also thanks Connor! I'll do just that. Also congrats on your win at Highland, that was incredible!
