Reflection Time

So I was one of the lucky ones who was able to go to the Olympic Park and race inside the Olympic Stadium at the BUCS champs Test Event. The stadium was amazing and the track was lovely, however the walk to the warm up area and then too the call up room is a trek and a half to say the least this could have been your warm up!!!

I would like to say that I had a fantastic race but unfortunately that wasn't the case it just didn't go right for me and I am so annoyed at myself as I lost focus for a bit and then didn't get back in the race and everything went to poooooooh. I know I am in great shape at the moment and my starts have been perfect, my warm up went great I was feeling ready to go. Going through the call up and final call was great I was nice and relaxed and having jokes with the officials and girls. Then it was time to go out so I got myself focused and ready to do what I had come to do and that was run fast!! we where called on your marks but the noise in the stadium was load and I was thinking to myself this is not good put your hand up, go on do it!! As I went to put my hand up we where called into the set position and I was caught off guard and was ready the next thing the gun had gone........the race was a shocker for me I had no drive phase which has been perfect, I tightened up and the rest was history!!!!

I am so disappointed with myself (check out my angry face post race!! haha) I should have gone with my gut instinct and put my hand up I wasn't ready and it was so noisy, I am kicking myself that I lost focus but I have to reflex on that and I know that I will defiantly not make the same mistake twice, and its these mistakes that we learn from and put right next time!!!!! So now its onto the next race refocused and ready to lay it down, the only time its important to run fast is at the Olympic Trials so there is plenty of time for me to get it right and I sure as hell will this time round. I am only human and everyone makes mistakes and I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and it wasnt my time to shine it was my time to learn and get the bad one out the way now get over it and move on! its onwards and upwards from here on in...............
