Notes
Dayum.
27 seconds faster than last year, and officially converts to a brand spanking new 2 mile PR as well.
Did not fuck around in the first two laps and allow myself to create a gap behind the main pack. Not sure what I came through the mile in, but I was at 2:24 at the 800 and 7:42with 600 to go. Stuck right on the back of a Shrewsbury uniform for 5 laps. Actually miscounted my laps on accident and began my surge with 1000 to go. Realized my mistake when I came around to hear the 7:42 (and I knew there was no way I was in the final 200), which actually was kind of a heartbreaker because I was really in kick mode. Screwed me up for that lap, really slowed down a bit there. Buehler, Cracker Snap-peas, and Danny Boy all passed me back :( Honestly think the premature surge may have been good for me, I guess we will never know what would have happened if I had held back a little longer.
Overall analysis is that I am glad that I was not a pussy in this race. Kinda thinking I can really hammer a new mile PR in indoor, and even tackle a few 3ks as well??? Looks like Coach Tytler might have been right all those years ago when he told me I was "meant for longer races". Debating on the upgrade to 5k in outdoor, time will tell.
