Notes
awfully consistent splits. I did fade over the last 600 meters b/c my body was just not used to that much lactic acid. 6th in the fast heat. at 400 I got upset that I'm bumping around behind four people in a pack getting tripped and spiked and at 550 a gap opened up and I shot to the lead on the straitaway like I like to do and set the pace for two laps, but then they threw the hammer down on me and I had no hammer to respond with. I didn't give up, I pushed hard the whole way, but 4:4X is disappointing. I'm in better shape than that, I thought. It is comforting to see that I led 34s not the 35s that I was hearing as I ran. I also suppose that 4:40 isn't terrible, especially considering tripping in the first 400 and passing way out in the outside of lane two and leading for two laps. In short, disappointed, but happy I raced, the race could have gone worse, and it sets me up really well for a good race in the next week or two.
