Notes
First time doing the "Dirty Double" (3200m and 1600m in the same day). Was a little anxious going into the race, and also my stomach was a little off (drank a little bit of gatorade, but even 2oz at a time was more than my stomach could handle so shortly after a race). Luckily all of HH's racers were a bit unfamiliar with the racing conditions (Cahill and I were dirty doubling for the first time, and Mike Hammond was running the 2mi for the first time).
Placed 3rd - Scored 1 point (2 for the season).
We knew that we had the race totally to ourselves. Only 1 Quakertown racer, and he finished the 1600m around 6:00.
Started off a tiny bit slow (77 seconds) but stayed fairly consistent. Wasn't the best day, and I wasn't feeling fresh, but I still managed to break 11 again.
Hammond + I ran much of the race together. I started in front of him, he passed me around the mile, but then I passed him in the last two laps. I thought I was going to get 2nd place, but he out kicked me in the last 200m. Good race all around though.
1st lap - 76-77
1 mile - 5:23
last lap was under 80, which was one of my goals. Felt good even through my 2nd to last 400m.
Crazy windy! (20+mph winds)
