800m- only really had one gear- ran the first lap in 59 but felt quite strong but i did not feel like i was gliding, consiously working all the time, ran out by my self, not much competition but people watching said it looked very easy
400m- Got cought almost stright away and didnt really start moving untill 200m left- held of another athelte and started to catch up the leader but was already too far behind. However by the end of the race strength was begining to leave me and felt like my technique was falling apart (last 50m)
200m- 10min after my 400- still pretty tierd and a poor start - started to make ground on the last 50m
