Notes
Illinois Club Peaks 4 x 4 (4th Leg)
The 4th leg of our men's 4x4 (Yemi) forgot to come over from the throwing pits, so Splitt recruited me for this. The race was immediately after the 15, so really didn't have too much time to relax in between the two races. There were two Illinois teams in the race, so my only goal was to beat the other team :)
Got the baton with a second or two lead on Mario. Got out well, and then tried to relax on the backstretch and not blow my load into the wind. Legs were definitely feeling the other 2 races, so just focused on holding form and staying smooth. At 200m started to accelerate. At this point, the team was yelling that Mario was closing in on me, but opened up my stride and powered home the last 100 and re-opened up the lead a bit then. Fun end to the first (of hopefully many) Club hosted outdoor meet!
