I'm so great.
16:06
Uh, so, like, there, there's been a lot of, especially after Indy, um, it was just kinda like trying to, like, ease into it, and I, already for, like, a distance summer I, I taper a lot more than other distance summers, especially, like, Katie.
16:21
Like, I was doing 4K yesterday morning, and I'm like, "This is great." I did 38 this morning and-
20:32
but, like, is there something that you've always, like, kind of done in your routine?
20:35
It's more so, like, accepting it, accepting that you're gonna be nervous, and that, like, there's a couple ways of just looking at it, is that it's a good thing, your nerves.
20:45
I always perform my best the more pressure I'm under, and, you know, it's, it's just part of, like, getting your system in, like, fight or, fight or flight mode.
20:56
But like-
15:38
Oranges? Okay.
15:39
It's, I kinda become superstitious between that.
15:41
I don't know if I said this story, but I watched Zane Grothe eat, like, 10 oranges before Pan Pacs in 2018, and he dropped a ton of time.
15:51
And then I was like, "I'm gonna try this," and I dropped a ton of time.
15:54
So now I'm, like, superstitious about it and I have to have oranges with me before I compete.
20:08
Okay
20:08
...
20:08
I was going to pr- like, this is when my sisters were still, uh, in high school as well.
