Notes
A great race. Just week 3 after a Reset, so didn't really know what I wanted. Had opened the season the last two years with a 4:18, so I thought a 4:17 would be a good one. Didn't really feel great during the week or on the warmup.
See race video. Very funny to hear commentators announce my name as Valley.
Gun went off, a rando went out I thought really quick so I just let him be, came through 300 and the clock said 41 which would be blazing so I slowed down a bit, but it was obviously incorrect. We came through the 400 in 71.2, so slow, this made me mad, he actually hadn't been going that quick i was just going slow. Made up some ground on him and passed him with 100 meters left in lap 2. Made a bit of a push, and then came through 800 in 2:17.8 (67.6). Made a very hard surge right at the splitters, my favorite spot to drop people. Gapped the field pretty good there, hit the bell lap, 1200 in 3:23.8 (66.0), a very nice lap. Finished the lap well, thought someone was coming but there was no one close, won the race going away, finished in 4:15.5 (50.1). A fun way to open the season.
