Notes

Hopkins Invite 1500. In the 2nd Heat, with Brandon, Doran, and Colton. Perfect conditions for 1500 running which was definitely welcome. Coming in I was a bit unsure of my speed and would have been fine with anything in the low 4's as long as I put it out there.

Went out in 47 the first 300 in a huge pack and then things slowed down a lot. We hit 67.mid for our second lap and a 65 high or 66 low third lap, didn't really have good position in this part, was boxed in and kept getting spiked / bumped. With 400 to go I was right next to Brandon and figured I had a good shot to finish well, but I just couldn't really take off. Still closed in 63 mid which is decent, but he blew me away with a 59 last lap. Puked up my bison burger from last night afterwords.

Not a bad underdistance race for not having run less than a 3k since January and not much speed training. Would have liked to PR, but not every race can be perfect obviously.
