Today was Pine View Invite. My legs were tired from the past week, but I knew I could still do good. I just ran the 1600. There were 4 heats and I was in the last heat with Hayden and Josh. Warmed up for a mile before the race. The first lap I was boxed in until the homestretch. I caught up to Josh on the next lap and Hayden was following right behind me. I passed Josh right at the end of the second lap. I pushed the third lap to widen the distance but Josh hung on the whole way. My legs were feeling it going into the final lap. I finally broke Josh on the last curve going into the homestretch and ended up winning by 4 seconds. I got a 4 second PR! I felt great and did better than I expected! Afterwards Hayden and I took a mile cool down. My legs are doing fine now. Official time was 4:23.89. Here are my splits: 1 -- 1:05 2 -- 1:07 -- 2:13 3 -- 1:06 -- 3:19
4 -- 1:04 -- 4:23 There wasn't much wind at all so I was able to go my own pace the whole way. I was going for straight 66s so I was pretty close. I'm only running the 800 for the medley tomorrow.
