^^^At 10-12,000+ feet no less.
While I agree with another poster who questioned the "killed it" part of the statement, it was certainly a solid effort from an otherwise inexperienced runner out of his natural environment (altitude, distance, etc...). Definitely didn't go home devastated, props!

he def stepped his training up a lot. seemed like he went from 50 mpw to 100 mpw with very little in between and only one 100 mile week. which would be pretty stupid for most people, but he somehow never gets injured so i guess it doesnt matter. seems like too little too late tho given the race is this month, but again, if you just want to finish and walk it in then he will. i dont have any doubts about his mental toughness.
If there was only a compound I could take to stimulate protein synthesis so I could train more without breaking down....
....I know it must be his all-natural supplements!
