Raced 1200 leg of DMR
Wanted to just shoot for 70s/3:30
Figured I would go out and probably do 70 first lap, then 70-71, then tighten up last lap for around a 73 and run about a 3:33-4.
Wound up going faster than anticipated with a bunch of people ahead and already established a gap at 200m. Came through 400m at 67 way behind. Next lap I settled down some more and just ran it was like a workout and picked two people off. Came through the 800 in 2:16, 69 second lap. I was gaining on second quickly and was right on him as I started the last lap. Kicked it into another gear at the start of the lap to go by him but he wouldn't give up. Kept pushing and kicking until after 100m he fell off, then I kept pushing even harder. Wound up finishing with a 3:25 1200, was really surprised.
