Best of luck, Michael! Hope you can lay it all on the line at CIM and whatever happens look back on this time in your life knowing you gave it all you had.
That’s really cool that your Eagle Scout project is still up after 10 years. Mine unfortunately got taken down by winter weather the next following year.
You got this!! Thanks for sharing your journey. You do a great job of balancing humor, being motivated and being optimistic. Instead of getting bitter about not getting in the elite field you looked for solutions. You're going to crush the race 💪
I know! You’re too kind Jason, it would be great to just let people assist me that way… but I gotta deal with what I got unfortunately. I’ll make it work
LETS GET IT!
Let’s finish this the way we started;)

My brother once managed to sink a homemade raft out in that lake...good luck at CIM!
Lol I’ve almost never seen someone out ON the lake before. That’s funny though.
Been fun following your journey! Good luck
Thank you!
Bold move with the bottle belt! All the best this weekend man! Hopefully the non elite start doesn't play into the gun time versus chip time 😬
Haha it doesn’t, I have a seeded start so I still get to start at the front! But OTQ is always Gun time
Yup yup, knew it was gun time only. That solves that at least!
Good luck Bro!!!!!
Thanks!!
So hyped for the next video, even if it went bad prob cuz of calf cramps still hella inspiring
The Hay is in the Barn, time to shine! Go crush it!
I love it when the hay’s in the barn. Racing is so fun when you’ve prepared well. I’ll give it my best!
Great utilization of PEMDAS
You GOTTA know PEMDAS, and know when to use it responsibly
MICHAEL TO THE MOON 🚀
As long as I get there in under 2:18:00 🤷♂️
Go get it Michael!
You know I will!
It is funny watching you figure out what us non-elites have to deal with 😅 good luck dude!!!
Haha glad you enjoyed that. I hope it works out! It’s strange not getting the elite support lol
Are thise socks on your hands? Love it! Why didn't I think of this
To help the riding up you can safety pin it to your half tights or shorts. But of course then taking it off won't work well at marathon pace.
Yeah I’m gonna have to deal with whatever it’s doing probably to make sure I can ditch it easily. But it honestly felt pretty ok
A bit late, but the naked band with the bottle has no bounce!
I’ll look into it next time! Though I hope there isn’t a next time lol
I live in puyallup and training for 2028 I’m 16 years old we gotta go for a run together!!!!
It's too bad you can't have support from the crowd. I'd drive down there
I know! You’re too kind Jason, it would be great to just let people assist me that way… but I gotta deal with what I got unfortunately. I’ll make it work
Man I’m so sorry u have to wear the bottle thingy I’m sure it’s uncomfortable and kinda unfortunate but I’m going to pray u make it big dawg
218 on a downhill course means little, papi.....except encourages you on this fools folly. We need to get a job...
Not even Jorge Masfidal has run a 2:18 on a downhill course
