Citius Mag Podcast

Jacob Riley joins the CITIUS MAG Podcast to share how he managed to make his first Olympic team after a 2:10:02 personal best to finish second at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. Jake wrote on Twitter, "Been saving end of segment things so I can savor this feeling longer. Yesterday was watching the race coverage, today was finishing my log. Final entry isn’t twitter appropriate, but I got to write “I’m an Olympian”. The way I felt writing that I’ll remember forever." What's the not-Twitter appropriate version and what's the training log say? Jake put us in his shoes for the race and recounts what we likely missed from the broadcast since he had to work his way to catch the leaders.  More in this episode on:  - Snatching the American flag with 600 meters remaining in the race and instant regret - Getting in the right mindset for the race and how it compared to Chicago - Looking back at his approach to racing as an All-American at Stanford - What he learned from his five years with the Hansons-Brooks
