Notes
Dartmouth Classic Invitational. Ran the 1000 (supposed to be on 'C' team 4x400 as well, but it got axed). In the slower of two sections, in a heat with Jarrett, Paul, and Joe L. Trying to break 2:40- plan was to go out in 31.x and then run 32s and close fast.
I was hip number 1, so I started right on the pole position. Got out pretty well, but still came around the first lap towards the back- where I wanted to be though. Paul was right in front of me. Came through the 400 in 63.x Made a good move, passing Paul and another kid, coming into the 600 in 1:37. Fought hard for the next two laps, but couldn't close the gap on any more people. Really gassed on the bell lap- pushing hard, but just couldn't find any speed. Still, definitely a good race.
I think I had splits of 31-32-33-33-32.x, something like that. It was fairly even. I just need to close that gap on the next group, run with them a little longer and be a little closer at the finish- although the next guy ahead of me ran 2:37, a significant gap. Hopefully I will run the mile next weekend at Liberty Leagues and continue my hot streak, breaking 4:40 and PRing again. Then, if I get a chance to run at the Armory at the NYU Team Challenge, then I can hopefully drop ~ 2 seconds and sneak under the NYSTC 'B' standard in the 1000 and maybe get a chance to run at states.
