We talked about Chris in our Week that Was
and then emailed him to see if he was healthy.
He wrote back. "I am healthy and had about 6 weeks of workouts before Payton Jordan after missing about month of training. I knew that the Stanford race would be tough because we have done mostly base work plus some shorter track reps as prep for a hard training phase coming up. Still, it was disappointing result. In the last year I have had a lot of training interruptions and that lack of consistency has made it hard for me to jump into race fitness as quickly as I once did. However, I feel healthier than I have in a long time and am optimistic about where two months of consistent training can get me before the trials."
