    I think I’m finally at the point where I’ve dwelled on Western States enough (I wrote this part like 4 days ago, so I’m definitely over it now).It’s funny how much weight a race result can carry. For months, sometimes years, you build towards a single day. You put everything into the preparation, make sacrifices, and convince yourself that when the opportunity comes, you’ll be ready.
