Notes

This was a pretty good race believe it or not. Weather was not conducive to fast times and I think it showed. Very sunny, warmish and humidish. Tom O only beat me by 2 seconds and he ran a good bit slower than he did at Morgan Hill where he beat me by 13 seconds. I had a big last 200m closing fast on Tom with I think about a 41 second last 200 vs 46-49 200's through the race.

Irony of ironies: I wore two (2) GPS watches during the race and, of course, we had the official clock and with all that firepower we didn't get the correct times! Somehow Danny messed up the official clock so they were going off what people told them. Unfortunately neither of my two watches were started/stopped correctly. So I had my 205 on just to beep every 93 seconds (what I wanted to run each 400 at), that one I didn't even bother to start until we hit the 200m mark into the race. My 220 wasn't setup and ready when the gun went off. I was BSing with someone and when the gun went off the watch was still recording my warmup run! I had to STOP it, SAVE the warmup lap and then re-START the watch while I was running the race. That's why the distance (and time) came up short.

That 19:24.9 they 'gave' me was just an estimate as no one had a real time. I'm guessing I was probably a second or two faster than that.
