800m- I was really hoping to run a 1:57, but I guess today was just not the day to do it, which is definitely alright. I ran a PR so I can't complain right? I have much I can work on. First of all I definitely did not plan on negative splitting (usually not the best thing to do in an 800) Ha! I was actually hoping to go through my first lap in a high :57. Instead I caught up in the pack and came through right at 1:00. I had to spend the entire second lap running most of it in the 2nd or 3rd lane trying to make up for lost ground. I was definitely very pleased with how I ended up though. I just know I could have gotten that 1:57 without the tactical error. Just more room for improvement I guess. Fun race! I really enjoy running the 800m! 13 seconds faster than I ran the 800m last year at this race!
