Bosse didn't go out particularly fast--24-mid, 50.97, 1:17.24--for whatever reason he just ran out of gas today. Ill? Not enough endurance training to last the rounds?

1:38 pace the first 200.

If you want FAST opening splits, look at this:

He had trachycardia before the race (his heart was beating too fast). He actually said before the race "This is not going to go well" cause he knew he was not on top physical form.

I guess he tried to do what he could, cause he knew he wouldn't have the kick in the end.

Why would the coach let him run in that condition? Sounds rather risky. DNS is better than RIP

Huh, that's what I'm saying.

I did the same thing in 10th grade.
