Got to the race today and learned I was in the slow heat. Because of that and the fact it was windy I really just didn't feel like going all out, so I decided to just take the first laps at a tempo kind of pace and kick the last 400. The gun went off and I tucked in so I was out of the wind on the first lap, and we came through in 70. Next lap was a 71 and I came through in 2:21. The 1200 split was 3:33-34 and I picked it up. I passed like 8 people and ran like a 65 for a 4:39. It was pretty fun, and definitely the easiest 4:39 I've ever run.
