AM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. It was so cold this morning. I really wish it was summer again.
PM - 4.5 miles. PV Dream Mile. Time: 4:42. Place: 2nd. Probably my best track race ever. I decided not to be scared and got out quick and right with Nick. I stuck right on Nick's back for the first two laps but I started feeling really tired at the beginning of the third lap and Andrew passed me right here. The third lap was really tough for me and Andrew started to gap me a little bit on this lap. When we hit the last lap, I found some energy again and caught Andrew on the back stretch and kicked pretty hard the last two hundred but sadly I missed out on breaking 4:40. Nonetheless, just a great race for me. PR by 9 seconds and the best race I've ever had on the track. I've finally figured out how I race best and its to get out fast. I need to work on that third lap because that's where I lost a lot of ground. If I had stuck on Nick on that third lap, I could have hit sub 4:40 and probably could have pushed Nick to sub 4:30.
