Today at the Alpha Invite I ran the mile and the 800. I was really worried when I got there because my chest had been hurting when I breathed and it felt like a sickness. I think that the anxiety before racing got it out of me cuz I felt great during and after the race. During the mile I felt really good but got boxed in on the first 1 and a half laps so I couldn't speed up as much as I wanted. I still came across the 800 mark at 2:12 which is qualifying pace. I then went out to lead the pack of people (everyone except Mckay Johns who was about 40-50 meters ahead of everyone). I ran the rest of the race alone without people really coming from behind and Mckay too far out infront.
For the 800 I was put in the fast heat with a seed time of 2:02 when my PR was high 2:06. I ran it after feeling tired from the mile and I ran about a 2:02 which made me really happy. I was glad but in the race I could feel my legs locking and not being able to move much faster because I was so exhausted. It was a good race though and I got I think 10th overall. It was fun stuff.
