Oh boy. Watched Mike kill his two mile so shout out to him. Warmed up a mile and watched the first three heats go and they were fast but there wasn't too many guys under 4:40 so I had hope. Gun went off and there was a lot of jostling for the first 100m. Came through 200 at a 30 so that was neat, first 400 was a 64 and the second was a 65. Freaking Jaiden Melendrez and McKay Johns. Slowed a lot the next three laps but came through 200 to go at a 4:04 so I had hope but knew I would need to kick it in. My kick left something to be desired but it got the job done. Ended qualifying for finals by 1 spot so that is neat and to close for comfort. Shoutout to everyone who raced and to Gan, Guppy, and Mike for all qualifying for finals on Saturday. |
