Notes

9:42.92 official. 4th in my heat, good race.

Good heat--everyone had put in a 9:50, 9:55 or 10:00 for a seed time. I was mid/back of pack through about the mile then started moving up a bit. Every lap was under 40 seconds, the splits I remember are 3:15 for 1000, 5:12 for 1600, and 6:28 for 2000.

That is a good race -- damn dude.

Thanks man. Felt good the whole way ... well except the last 3 laps but even then felt way better than all the guys I was passing.

I think that you might secretly be a miler.

mikeymike

It's not a secret. I just missed my window.

A little late to comment as I just saw your reference to this race in a post today, but wanted to say, wow, that is a fine 3000, esp. on an indoor track. Holy cow, Mike, I think you should have sub 16:40 in you some time this year if you stay healthy.

Thanks, Joe! I'm undecided what to do after Boston but one option is to see what I could do at 5000 on the track. We'll see. Seems like your running is coming together nicely too--great to see.
