Notes
Happy enough with this. I was ready for it all day and couldn't wait to get out there. The race started with me, Quinton, Tyler, Chris and Evan together for the first lap. We got out fast. 68ish seconds coming through the 400. For me personally I like to get out slower. My best races have been negative splits but the pack was moving so I just went with the flow. I felt good after the first lap. I was sitting in 3rd or 4th I think but I was in my zone. Through the 800 we were a pack and we came through in 2:22ish. Then I made a move up to second place and tried to go with Tyler. I really started to hurt in the 3rd lap and the more our pack spread out the tougher it got. Tyler gapped me. On the straightaway into the wind I came out of my zone momentarily. I don't know how to describe it any other way but I had some negative thoughts. For some reason I recovered and ran a decent last lap. I opened it up when there was 150 meters. I felt like I was on my own facing that wind which sucked but I'm happy with this. If I can race conference like this I'm sure that I'll see a pr.
