Watch more video of Victoria International Track Classic 2011 on flotrack.org
Last night was a good turning point for me. After a disappointing race on Friday at the Harry Jerome Track Classic I stepped onto the UVic track to compete in the Victoria International. Sharing the line with me, were 4 Olympians, an NCAA stud and some other top contenders.
My only plan was to get after it. Stay in the front pack for as long as I could. and give'r with 100m left. That was it. Simple and to the point. The pace goal was 50 sec through 400m and 1:17 through 600m (actual time 52/1:19). The starting gun shot and the pacemaker went right to the front. I was sitting comfortably in 3rd. With 250m to go Khadevis Robinson (8x US National Champ/Olympian) went by me and I tensed. Rookie mistake!!! With 100m left I snapped out of it and turned on what was left finishing 4th overall with a time of 1:47.11. It was my second fastest time of my career so I can't be too disappointed. Live and learn from my mistakes. I need to run my race, and not get out of my zone.
I'm happy with the result because I committed to the pace. World Championship "B" standard is 1:46.30, so I'm off to Europe to chase some times. I'm feeling good and feel confident that I've got another fast time in me.
