I went for it and couldn't hold. The pace went out in 50.0. The leader couldn't help himself from pushing the pacer off the track at 350. I had a choice, stick with the lead pack and go through fast, or settle back. I went for it. We went through in 64 through 500m and the leader through 600m in 1:17. I was on the heels of the 3rd with 200m to go. The front three start breaking away and I go to the "well" to find my kick....nothing. With 120m the group pulls further away. I get passed by one other guy with 50m to go. I held together and crossed the line. 1:48.75.
All I can say is I went for it. It wasn't there today. It could have been the race on tuesday (second fastest time), could have been the weather, it could have been anything, but I just didn't have it today. All I know is I went for it today. My body will learn that pace a little better and it'll handle more next time.
I've got a few races left to find that perfect pace to go through and still have a kick. I'll get it.
