800: 1:59.18
well, this was not quite what I wanted. the goal was to run 1:55-56 or so, going out in 55-56 and closing in 60. the field had 22 people, and as the last seed, I was in the second waterfall all the way on the outside of lane 8, which actually worked to my advantage, cause i didnt get boxed in at all, and was able to take the lead right from the beginning. i actually ran almost the entire race completely alone, and had a big lead on the field through 600, but finally hit the wall with about 100 to go, and ended up getting passed by like 6 people in the last 75 meters. went out in 56, and hit the 600 in 1:25-6, and felt great at both point, which was exactly what I wanted to do. I just didn't have the strength to finish the race, which I can definitely work on, but it was frustrating to have the field close around me and not be able to finish the race. i don't have any regrets about running alone and leading the race by that much, cause it was exactly what i wanted to do, though i was surprised no one went with me. seriously, 22 runners in this race all seeded at 1:58-59 and not one of them had the balls to go out fast with me and try for something a little better. wtf. i feel just a couple of workouts away from being able to close that last 200 in 30 or better instead of 34, which would put me at a 1:55 or so. im expecting good things at depauw.
