Notes
4x1600 lead leg for one of the alumni teams. I started on the very outside of 16 teams but got out well and ended up on the outside of Demo and a Carleton runner. As Demo was getting pushed towards the lead I decided I would just go do the work and see what happens. I jumped on the front and settled in to a quick pace. Went through the 400 in about 65 and started to question the pace a little. Settled somewhat the next two laps (800-2:13) before the Carleton runner came up beside me with about 500 to go. Realized I had a fair amount left and picked it up to hold him off. Really started rolling with 300 to go and went to everything I had for the last 200. Somehow held everyone off and ran faster than I expected to. Steve told me he had Demo at 4:25.2 so he thought I ran 4:24 high. Our team ran 18:04 and finished third which is pretty awesome too. I ended up with no arch or toe pain the entire day and the new Mamba 2 spikes felt great to race in. This got me excited for still trying to get in a decent track season. Hopefully this injury is pretty well cleared up now too.
