My First 800m Race in 2 Years

[@socerdude581]

That camera work on the race footage by Allie O was near perfection

[@ethan.wroblewski]

Awesome race bro my prediction was almost right I said you’d run a low 1:51, but ran a 1:52. Great work man!

[@Shevock]

Good to see you back to putting yourself into the game. You can't win if you don't roll the dice. Don't let haters get into your head. Just do what your body is capable of.

YOOOOO I MADE IT IN THE VIDEO😂 the second lap when you’re coming to the finish line, if you look at those people in the red jackets, I’m behind the railing in the white shirt/blue jacket filming the race! Konnor Hathaway from Portland who you raced against was a high school classmate of mine (he was a senior, I was a freshman) I am now a freshman in college, but I’ve been watching you since then!

[@adamjohnson5285]

You were focused out there! I was shocked when I saw you on the screen.

[@michaeldixon8342]

Solid Rust Buster indeed, nice effort. Looking forward to seeing your progress and getting back in there!

[@robciervo]

Congrats on stepping back out there and racing the most difficult event in track. There’s more there! Nice.

[@matthewerickson2405]

nice race man! super cool to meet you, hopefully you come down to some more hayward meets in the future🤙

[@carsongambaro]

Impressive how your 600m split was almost identical to your recent TT time over that distance. Keep grinding Spence 🫡

[@Amoooguuuss]

Nice work bro I’m 5 and run a 1:39 for the 800 is that decent

heck of a race spencer! Just need to get a few more races in you and you'll be in business. you're in a much bigger gear than the rest of the guys in your race the whole way! Great job man!

He has a kid?

Nervousness before a race is the body’s way of preparing for peak performance

[@WheatWaffles]

Could tell the guy in green was going to win by observing his running form on the first lap. He looked the smoothest of the field

[@taliacole4076]

Congrats! Fun watching you race! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your races this season!

[@taliacole4076]

Also you didn’t even look tired!

[@MSP106]

Nice job Spencer! Good things ahead my friend!

[@bryanryder7196]

Really good race, only thing I would’ve said was make the move around that Portland guy with 300 to go. You got this result training in a very different way, its going to definitely pay off! Keep it up!

[@EverythingFinance_]

LOVE that track work 2 days out, quality stuff

[@bradleyruzak9291]

I checked the results on Saturday and thought the time was a great start to the outdoor season. Moreover, watching you run, you raced! You looked strong and in control….had something in the end. Even your demeanor was night and day compared to last year….you were having fun out there! Imagine that! Lol Agreed, times are of no concern right now, it’s how you feel and responding to competition! Checked both boxes….on to the next!

[@gregoryluna535]

Congrats! Glad to see you back on the track.

[@zaneclone]

That was a fine opener... An 800 to start off is a baptism of fire ! Onwards and upwards Mr Brown :)

[@ianbarnett6027]

Great run Spencer. Also your first 800 M of the season. You are going to get so much faster.

[@kevinmshea58]

[@freeflyesperance3392]

Awesome work Mario!!! 😂 great work man keep it up!!!!

[@evangrip4618]

I think a positive from this race was that when you started to lose contact on the back straight on lap 2, you didn't panic and just used the turn to get back up there. Even nipped another guy at the end, which is nice.

[@MK-tk8tb]

Right on

[@ivangold6175]

Nice run against the giants!

[@samdaly6087]

If you had a more open lane that last 100 you would have run 1:51. You’re fit man. You’re actually doing it.

[@rezzbuilds8343]

Oh what I’d do to run 1:52 again. I’m only 28 but have been training for marathons I doubt I could even break 2:04

[@markbateman9222]

800 is a hard distance for a 1500/miler to run first race up. If you ran another 800 next week you would be at least a second faster, another 800 the week after that would see you under 1:50. In the '70s & '80s, the heyday of Walker, Ovett, Scott etc., it was common for guys to start their season 90-95% fit and rely on the first few races to bring them up to peak form for the really big races later on. For a runner with a good endurance base frequent racing at 800 & 1500 is perfectly possible. I would look for as many quality races as you can find.

[@joshuasmith1215]
