Jack AhernGUEST
So everything in that run was not optimal, and then I still managed to put the splits there.

Jack AhernGUEST
I actually said to Josh, who's been on this podcast, he's a friend of ours, uh, on the Monday or the Sunday, I said, "There's absolutely no way in this world I don't run a massive PB." [laughs] I go, "There's nothing that...

Jack AhernGUEST
There's, there's no doubt in my mind that it's not gonna happen after this last month." And then the next day I woke up and I started feeling sick, um, which was the Monday, two weeks, two weeks out from the race.

Jack AhernGUEST
And then the Tuesday I felt okay, so I went to the track and I did, uh, six by two minutes, and it didn't feel great.

Jack AhernGUEST
And then I did like four by one minute and I just stopped, and I was like, "Oh, I don't feel very good." And then I went home, and then I just went downhill really fast, um, like really, really fast.

Jack AhernGUEST
It was the most sick I've been in a very long time with some form of like a heavy flu virus thing.

Um, but yeah, maybe, maybe a five-minute recap about how the race went down because, um, in general I think you executed pretty well.
