In all, she’s raced the 800 meters 14 times in 2021, the most recent at the Diamond League meet in Zurich three days ago.The international travel in the last few days and the lack of turns—the 5th Avenue Mile course is a straight shot down 20 blocks in the heart of Manhattan—didn’t faze Reekie, who said her strategy was simple: Don’t think; just run.
