Notes
4:12.1 (64.2, 67.0, 69.5, 51.1), one second PR
This week legs felt awful, legs didn't feel good on warmup either. Nice warm day but very windy on backstretch.
Started race way too fast, 30sec through 200, 64 through 400. I knew I was out too fast very quick, gapped the field very quickly, but nobody else wanted to take the lead. Felt strong first 400 but knew it was too fast and scared I was gonna die. On the backstretches it was pretty hard taking the wind all by myself, but homestretches I tried to work hard. 67 second lap, 69 second third lap, definitely dying. Last lap was so hard, legs were locked up, passed coach and he said I just needed a 70 to PR. Pushed hard, last backstretch was so windy and hard, and I thought I heard someone coming. Last 200 tried to push but not much of a kick, but 4:12.1 which was exciting. Led the race from wire to wire. Encouraging especially with how my legs have felt all week.
