Notes
Alumni Mile Rust Buster, going in legs felt meh, not bad but not great either. Did normal drills and ended up tweaking my inner thigh/hamstring which sucked. The race got going and I ended up getting solid position. Went through the 400 right behind Tim in 65-66ish and then went around to try and get a little closer to Johnny. At that moment, Ben passed me and then ended up leading the next 3 laps Went through the 800 in 2:11ish and legs didn't feel too bad, but I wasn't really used to going into race mode like this. It took me awhile to get into my race cadence but once I did I tried my best to help Ben out. I passed him with 3 laps to go and slowly closed in a little bit towards Johnny, but not by much. With 400 to go Troy got right next to me and then turned on the jets and blew right by me. I couldn't change gears like he did and pretty much had zero response. Ended up finishing in 4:22 with Muth doing what he always does and appearing out of nowhere the last few seconds. He outleaned me for pretty much the billionth time which is starting to get really annoying but whatever. The run just served as a rust buster and that's what I got out of it. I actually recovered almost instantly when I was done which was really nice. I can definitely run alot faster in the next few weeks and the best part is alot of the other guys felt the same way I did. Good starting point for the season, I really think we're going to do something special this year!
