Notes
3k at conference, I was in the fast heat, seeded 12th with a 9:13. John Crain was in my heat, the goal was to go as close to sub9 as possible and only get lapped once by Crain. Before the race Coach told me to separate from pack at the gun so not to get sucked into a stupid pace.
Pretty much just went 36 and 37s the whole time, went 2:26 through 800, mile in 4:52, started to pass a few guys, passed three guys throughout the race and finished 11th in 9:06.28, a 7 second PR. Crain lapped me around lap 10, ran a very smart race and I was very happy with it. Threw up after the race, which was fun
