Notes
Mile race @ Brockport invite, in fastest of 3 heats w/ Brian. Looking for a fast tuneup race before States, hoping to break 4:30. One of the best races of my life, I felt great and was totally engaged in RACING, it was all business. Bad start put me in last place through 209, but coach didn't seem to be freaking out and so I stayed calm. Move up on the inside continually for the first half of the race, when I saw the clock was gonna be over 2:15 for the half I really started surging and actually started to get to the outside. With 3 to go I moved out and got myself into 4th, then at 1200 I went for it like it was the last lap. Hit the bell even with first place, but didn't have another gear... looking at the splits I actually had the fastest penultimate lap of anyone, but the 9th slowest final lap. Still, very happy with the how the race went, got faster ever quarter and was totally dialed in and felt GREAT. Hopefully that final lap will fall into place soon enough, but today I put myself right where I wanted to be. Can't WAIT for States, gonna do work.
