Notes
Decided to try a different tactic on this race. Usually I just go out at whatever I think I can run and do a pretty evenly paced race. What normally happens is that Norry and Geoff sit on me for 3 1/2 laps then kick around me and beat me. But, I can count on having run MY best race. Today I decided to stay behind those guys no matter what, hoping that at the end I had a whole lot left.
I stayed behind Norry and Dino the whole way. At the 1/2 we were at 3:03 which is SLOW and I started to go around them to speed up but I decided to follow through with my plan and dropped back in behind them. At the end of lap 3 Dino started pushing and Norry really started moving. I stayed pretty close until about 200m left then NOrry and Geoff again just took off leaving me chasing Dino. Couldn't close on him at all and my legs were burning at the end. I ended up not even running through the line and kinda half assed my last few strides.
This was way slower than I thought I'd run. Not sure if I'd have done better just running my race. Guess I'll get another chance at the Bang mile next week.
