Aylwin would react to his challengers, but he didn't accelerate now. He still ran in his own rhythm, because he knew that he had no advantage in the first half.
As a white athlete, he couldn't beat a black athlete in terms of explosive power and speed. Even when he was at his peak, he wasn't the fastest in the first 200 meters.
Aylwin needed to use his advantages and avoid his shortcomings. In the first 200 meters, Aylwin didn't pursue faster speed, but instead focused on improving his pace frequency and adjusting his strength in order to express his advantages in the last 200 meters.
Aylwin didn't choose to waste his strength in the first period when he was young, so he had no need to compete with others now that he was 34 years old now. He was no longer an aggressive young man, with reckless impulses.
Finally, the first 200 meters was over and the athletes went into the bend again. The most difficult period of the 400m was coming.
