Notes

800m < an hour after the 1500. In the slow heat with Joey, Colin, and SHAMS. Coach gave me the option of scratching after the 15, but said he thought it was a good idea to race , so I went for it. I felt poopy on the warmup, decent on the FAST strides. Was pretty terrified considering I ran 2:18 at this meet last year doubling back from the 15... So I'd say things went better than expected! Even got a small PR. Coach said to "run 650 to the flag, then work on my kick" but I guess I totally ignored that advice. Felt out the first 200, ran a killer tangent and ended up towards the front and decided to keep rolling, coming off the turn in 3rd came through 400 in 62 and I guess I was fired up or something so I passed Joey. He got me back shortly afterwards and I had NO response, was pretty tired I guess. But had an ok last 100. Honestly the 800 was a lot easier than I thought, maybe could have run a little faster if I ran smart, and I'd like to think that I could run ~2:02 fresh
