SVG text upside down when trying to support animation

I am having trouble making the text orientation correct. I tried as suggested on SVG TextPath Text shows upside-down but it makes the animation start from opposite side. I need the animation start from the initial node.

I am doing the animation using stroke-dashoffset and stroke-dasharray. In the code below I have shown various lines that are possible and the the direction is shown with the arrow.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            @keyframes dash {
                to   { stroke-dashoffset: 0; }
            }
            path {
                animation: dash 2s linear forwards;
                stroke-dasharray: 1500;
                stroke-dashoffset: 1500;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>

My solution is using a reversed path for the text. I've putted the reversed paths in the <defs>. I'm using a golden stroke where I'm using a reversed path. I hope this is what you need.

@keyframes dash {
  to {
    stroke-dashoffset: 0;
  }
}
path {
  animation: dash 2s linear forwards;
  stroke-dasharray: 1500;
  stroke-dashoffset: 1500;
}
svg{border:1px solid}
<svg viewbox="0 0 1580 790">
  <defs>
    <path d="M280,170C300,170 624,170 702,170C780,170 780,170 1300,170" id="reversed2" ></path>
    <path d="M640,530C340,530 340,660 640,660" id="reversed5" />
    <path d="M950,660C650,660 650,530 950,530" id="reversed6" />  
  </defs>
