It really stinks that I can't be happy with this, even though I set a 22 second pr. I led it from start to finish. John was supposed to rabbit me through a mile. I don't know what he was thinking. I took it out like I always do in any race basically quick because I get off the line well so it was a 67 400. That wasn't anything insane - we were supposed to go through in 70. John was right on my back. Went through 800 in 2:20. John was right on my back. I don't understand why he didn't take over. Even if I was surging as he tried to then it's his job as a rabbit to get in front of me. He has no other reason to even be in that race. Even then, the surging should it have happened was sub-conscience and I don't recall it ever happening. I was through 1200 in around 3:25 with John still right on me. I was through the mile in 4:48 and I don't believe John was right on me anymore. It was just pointless that I was set up to run a fast time and then it never happened. I feel cheated basically; I wanted a fast time to show to colleges and I don't believe that's as fast as I could go. It's unfortunate that I ran that time on my own - faster than Sam or John have ever ran on their own - and still not be happy. They have faster PRs than me because they got the help they needed through their race. I don't believe either of them could dip into the low 9:30s on their own. I'm just frustrated and feel mad. I'm writing this 3 days later and I'm still mad with the race.
