First lap is just chaos. Adrenaline and all that. You'll tell yourself to go out slower, but you probably will still go out hard.
Second lap is where you settle in. Pick the person you are going to run by (obviously not too fast or two slow) and just stick with them.
Third lap is hell. This is there self talk comes into play.
Fourth lap you are juiced to finish and just building up anticipation until finally you get to start your kick.

Therefore i'd like to at LEAST pr this first race. Any tips on how to go out? just any mile strategies in general would be great. thank you
