Five weeks ago, this would have been 3rd overall and a bronze medal. Today, it's still 3rd overall, but I won gold. And all I had to do was outkick my landlord. 

In all reality, this wasn't a bad race, but it certainly wasn't a good one. Seeded myself at 4:15 which is 68s per lap, and didn't think that was that unrealistic. Quite warm, especially as we didn't toe the line until almost noon, but it was also dry making the dehydration less noticeable. 

Windy conditions meant I wanted no part in leading, but still ended up leading the first 700 at 70s per lap cause no one else would take over. Steve decided that that was too slow at that point and took over with two others immediately following suit. Third lap wasnt great as Steve and co. put a couple seconds on me. Noticed with about 250m to go that Steve was coming back, and thought I could catch him with 150m to go. He surged a bit with 80 to go, but I was able to shift gears and catch him with about 20m to go. I closed in 67.5 for my fastest lap of the day. 4:22.19 officially.

All in all, not a good race, but I really can't complain with a gold medal. Call me Centro if you want
