Jogged 1.6 for a warmup and 1 for cooldown afterwards. In my heat I was seeded 1 so they put me in the inside of lane 1 (for whatever reason). As the gun went off, our entire group, positioned in a waterfall formation on a 200m track, suddenly cut into lane 1. Thus, I dropped to the back and moved around the outside. I ended up sitting behind two guys and when the bell lap came around I gunned it and caught one but fell short of the other. It was still an enjoyable experience but the setup was not up to par.
3k: 9:05. Ran consistent laps and ended up going from 12th to 3rd by the end. Felt really good and it was a blast to run it on the 200m track. Warmed up a mile and cooled for a mile. All of the Lond-D crew had a good day.
