Notes
1 mile race @ Springfield T&F Invite 2. In heat two of three w/ Paul, Barrett, and Bashir. Seeded at 4:35 and was hoping to run around that. Wanted to come through the half in 2:16-2:18. Had a really bad start, and was pretty much in last for the first lap, which I thought I would be o.k. with - it turned out to be a bad move though. Came through really slow, like 36. Basically I was too content to wait in back for too long, and when I finally tried to move up there was already too large a gap to the lead pack and I had a lot of trouble passing people, I kept getting boxed and having to slow down. Had a pretty strong finish I think.
Running the mile again at Dartmouth next week. Was definitely disappointed with today's race but this time I last year I ran 4:41 in the mile. Think I just need to be a little more confident next week, get out better and get with the leaders early on, then chill. Grupp went from 3:57 to 3:50 in one week, so there's no reason I can't break 4:34 in my next race.
