Notes
I dreampt last night that I ran 4:15.09 or 4:15.21 I don't remember which but I ran and that was my time. The today: I get to the line get out trip and throw my arms out and completely push someone and fall back I think into last place. Then I being to pass a person or two come through 300 in 49, 400 in 67 and just keep going. 67 is not nearly as scary as 66 and faster. I was running pretty much all I had and passed a few more people. 700 in 1:56, 800 in 2:15 and just kept going. With about 550 to go or maybe 600 the pack leaders backed off a tad and I swung a little wide anticipating a pass. So did the guy infront of me and with 500 to go I'm on the inside of lane 3 passing people as someone on the inside trips or something and everyone dissappears. ( I talked to Duffty later and he said no one dissappeared I just sped up, but whatever). I couldn't hear them breathing or anything so I just went for it 400 to go in about 3:04 (probably 3:05-6) and I thought "huh, 66 to get 4:10. That would be nice" So I gave it all I had but on the back stretch I got passed and that is life and then I got cut off going into the turn and I backed off. It was so wierd backing off on such a sprinting race with 200 to go. But then I regained my feet and tried to get on the outside of lane two to pass but then they accelerated on the homestretch to a gear I didn't quite have but I was very close. I also felt the wall coming on and I might have been able to push a little harder but if I had I felt like I would trip over my feet and eat rubber. I'm content for today. Not satisfied, I'd like to break 4 now as a career goal. Of course completely less important than my sub 30 10k or oly trials. It's a nice place to be with one-three races to go. It's better than my 4:38 on the second to last week before the rippin' 9:02...
