Notes
8:30 hours sleep
same breezy night overcast with drizzling rain like last year
cant say Ive ever felt that relaxed in a race, so smooth. was ridiculously well hydrated prior. perfect even split at 1600 4:43. 2600 split was 7:48, so last lap was a 59 or 60! sounds weird but I felt so good that it was hard to push past 9/10 effort in my 600m kick. motivation in the last 400m was to catch Grant, I didnt get him but I think I could have done it if I'd gone sooner
update: last lap was not a 59 :(
