Notes
Pretty happy about this race overall, but there's room for improvement. The small goal was 4:20 and the big goal was 4:15. No clock so don't really know splits for sure, but from what I could gather, it went something like 51-68-69-72, which means 4:15 is DEFINITELY possible with some work on the last 400. Either way, though, it's a 4-second 1500 PR and a would-be mile PR, and gives me a good feeling for the rest of the season.
Bad start off the line but tucked in well by 100m around 5th in the heat. Moved up to 2nd by 500m in and hung on Jarrett's shoulder. Made a move to 1st with 600 to go... knew Jarrett wouldn't let me beat him and didn't expect to, but the race was slowing down and I wanted to make sure he wasn't doing all the work. Just over pace through 1100m, but started to get rocked by 1200m. Last 200m wasn't pretty, got tooled on by WPI guys and Joe edged me out, but legs were locking up and couldn't move faster. It was 3/4 of a good race...one of my best honestly as far strategy goes.
P.S. Threw up after, THEREFORE, I ran well. (?)
