Hello Internet:
Well, after missing Footlocker, I'm back on my feet. Training is feeling good and I don't think my illness should affect my race too much. Fingers crossed!
Looking at those Footlocker results really got me motivated; I really think I had a good chance of qualifying. Plus I might have been able to set our school record a little lower so that my teammate Connor Olson doesn't break it in a few years. Oh well.
Went to the Nike dinner and got to meet a bunch of the athletes going out to NXN. Seems like a cool bunch of people and should make the trip out there a lot more enjoyable. Got a new profile pic with Brandon Clark so that's pretty cool...I mean he did qualify for nationals.
Flying out tomorrow, not too early (I almost wish it was earlier so we can have as much time as possible out there) and I can't wait. Honestly each year this is one of if not THE highlight of my year. The community and people you meet is just as awesome as the race.
I don't know if I'll send another update, but if not, wish me luck!
