Comments:
So I ran a lot today. So we went to Bloomington for NIRCA Nats and it was mostly a good day. The weather was super sunny and it got hotter as the day went on.
To start, in the 4x800 I anchored our team. I went out hard in 57 and died a bit in 63, but still ran a split of 2:00.5. We managed to get 7th place as a team and run an 8:03.49! It was awesome and we got scored points by being in the top 9... SO ALL AMERICANS WOO! I was super happy with this race and proud of Paolo, Lucas, and Phil for racing excellently.
The 1500m was not so good. I actually ran my slowest 1500m to date. The sun was pretty draining and I had a hard time recovering from the 4x8. I just never felt good during the race. I made a move at 800m, but died on the last lap hard. It was really disappointing, but hopefully I can come back in the open 800 tomorrow.
