Notes

Not FAT timed. Official time was 5:24.70 so rounded up to 5:25.

West Valley track was locked up so we moved it over to Saratoga HS track.

Plan was to try to hold 80's. Checked my watch at 200m and I was right at 40seconds. Then I never checked the watch again. I ran just behind Dave Piazza and Norry Mcallister for the first 3 laps then went by both of them with 400 to go. I felt really good and it felt like I blew past them. I certainly didn't slow any that last lap but we get to the straight and I can hear Norry coming back on me. I tried my best to kick hard to the finish but he's just plain faster than I am. He got me by a second. Afterwards he said that I was bout 15-20 feet ahead of him when he started his kick. Next race: Open a bigger gap on Norry so he can't kick me! Good race and another PR.
