BUCS 1500m Heat-2
I aimed to try and run 4:00-4:05 as in the past 4:06 would get you through. I was very prepared to go to the front and do it myself on first few laps. Off the line was ridiculoulsly quick and couldn't get to the front so got on the outside ready for when the silly middle distance just stop. Yet Ian (another Brighton runner) kept up the pace so ended up running on lane 2.
Fairly good splits. All I remember was 49 at 300m, 2:11 at 800. A gap came at 600m and I just tried to hold on.
Finished 7th in my heat but thought it was quick then watching some fools jog round in later heats was fairly confident I was in. Ended up 4:06 was slowest fastest loser.
PB season continues with 4:02:57.
I don't know what to do in the semis though. I would quite like to have a crack at sub 4 but not sure if that is done trying to get to the front or just slotting in lane 1 and hoping they go fast.
