Notes

Absolutely awesome first race since high school. Saw that I was seeded last in my heat so I decided to get out conservative in the back. Was around 34 something at 209 meters and in last. The high school kids went out hard. The pace felt quite fast. But from there I just kept running 34s and moved up slowly through the field. Every lap I got more confident, when I saw 2:16 I started to get excited. At about 2:50/2:51 at 1k I felt awesome and started to speed up. I unloaded a 62.high last 400 and was feeling so strong through the line. Fist pumped and said "fuck yes" then ran off the track to high five Brandon, across the infield. I think my last 600 was 1:36, which is a PR. That's the fastest 400 I've run since high school. I ended up fifth in my heat and 12th overall, beat Cory McGee by .22 ;) So, so happy with this race. I know that when I start doing speed work I will destroy this. 4:20 this indoor season. Fantastic day, really proud of myself for going solo into Boston and handling everything myself. This is a PR in the mile for me, even though my 1,500 converts to 4:26. That will be eviscerated soon. Sub 15:00 outdoors. My dreams won't be dreams forever.
