Notes

2:10.1 800m race. Started about 30 minutes after the tempo. Did some drills and strides, probably should have done a hot lap, but I thought the race was going to be sooner than it was. Started in the second chute and got out fast. Cut in too quickly, but that's not really a big deal. Hit the 400 in ~ 62.5 which is ~2 second PR. Made a move with 300m to go and gave it all I had in the final straight, although I got kicked down by some Neuqua kid. 2nd 400 was ~ 67.6. Really happy with this race, 12.5 second PR despite a tempo half and hour before and a workout the day before. Makes me think that I'm ready for a breakthrough in the 1600 and 3200 too. Only thing I would change would be trying to stay stronger from 300-500. First outdoor open 800 since sophomore year as well. Felt terrible afterwards, tongue and throat hurt.

Thanks Mitch. I'll try not to be too greedy the rest of the season.
