It's a tough one to predict this time around,I haven't competed at Nationals in just under two years and outside the Hartshorne Memorial Masters mile in mid January I haven't had an age group race in that time so I have no real idea where I stack up against my fellow M50 800m and 1,500m runners.
The business of this timed final in the 800m has made life difficult I have no idea how they are planning on running it w/ 20 of us entered I have the #10 seed time{for what that's worth given the obvious imbelishment of seed times} so IF I can get in the seeded heat maybe I've got a crack at a medal I just don't know and that not knowing how they're going to run the 800m has made it difficult to prepare mentally.

At least w/ new but NOT improved schedule I have two recovery days between the 800m and the 1,500m,that could work in my favour for the 1,500m,not sure if we have a 4x800m relay team,I could go Ad Hoc like I did in 08 and 10 but right now that's the least of my worries to be honest.
