Decided to get my first shot in at the 400m today. Warmed up with the usual routine. Finished my strides/accels right as Coach Schmuhl got back to Veale. He had just enough time to get a watch on me and gave me the benefit of the doubt on the starting line by waiting until I moved from the line.

Apparently I got too nervous and a little too eager, I forgot to settle into the cruising gear and kept the turnover high instead. Burned through a lot of energy and I found myself starting to feel the acid kick in at around 250m, which was a really long way from the finish. Tried not to let myself come down off my toes but it was rough. The first 200 was a PR.

57.31 (25.6, 31.7)

Not the best way to run a 400 but I have a few more chances to get things evened out before the meet. Also it will probably help to have people around me and not to be sick. Still happy with today overall though.
