Notes

Had the kids solo at the track meet so I decided to only do 1 event in between their 2 events (100 and 200) so they were alone that much. There were 11 of us in the fast heat so they did alley starts where I lined up in lane 1 with they only other guy who looked fast. We took off and I tucked in behind him by the 100 meter mark. We were in 1st and 2nd. The pace felt fast but I felt pretty good. I was going to try to go around him at the 300 meter mark but I wasn't for sure how fast I could go. I stayed tucked in. We went through the 400 at 62. Then on the backstretch I went out to lane 2 and did a strong move around him. I hammered it and then ran with fear. I made my move too soon and too fast and with 100 meters left I was tying up. I was afraid he would come back on me but I held him off for the win. My splits were :31, 1:02, 1:33, 2:02. So pretty consisent. Felt good to run fast and I think I could chop off a few more seconds now that I now I could go out a little faster.
