Notes

9:21.97 3000m @ Illinois Club Relays. Got out pretty hard and hit the 400 in~72 in around third. 800 in~2:26 and I had started to drift back cause the top two guys were going too fast for my liking. By the 1600 (~4:57) I had been swallowed back up by the pack and was a few seconds behind Andrew. Over the next k or so got pulled back up to Andrew by some IU dude, and I was with him with 600 to go. After that I just grinded out the rest of the race and tried to kick as much as possible. Never felt comfortable in this one, got out fast and it was a grind from the start. Got complacent the second 800 and moved backwards, but thankfully the IU kid going past me woke me up and I moved with him. A little disappointed in my finish, but other than that very happy with this race based on not feeling great this week, and coming off basically just base sort of work still. Also felt like I had to shit the middle k of this race, which was annoying, but it went away when it mattered and didn't really affect anything besides making this slightly more painful
