..more racing -quelle surprise
..okerly dokerly so this is the fourth hitout in 11 days...thats QUITE a bit-especially for an oldie loke me..well known fact-you dont recover as well nor as quickly when you're 30+, 4days of racing
went for a 1.1km warm up very early, then half hour later did the same again,
then headed over to shotput where i dribbled the shotput around and then went "no more"-this is too too bad and ran off to the 1500..i jogged everywhere tonight-not much walking-was also trying to look after celeste who is a newbie when stu wasnt around(and only an u13)
the plan for the 1500, 92 sec laps which equates to a 5:45
92,95,70(only 300m) 87 last lap for 5:44...gotta work on that second lap, but as i kept running past stu , hes like "work harder jo-pick it up"(i had dropped)-and when i heard that voice, i actually did, so it is actually very good to have him at the 200m-he's a good lad
..OMG how much does and did my throat hurt after!!!!!!!!! so raspy and dry, then over to discus(woeful) then shaky legs for a bit then over to the 400
..im a competitive little girl and i made sure i got in the heat as the other two girlds frm my club who run around my pace or faster(loads more people run heaps faster-but these are within reach)
the wind had unexpectedly revolted against us and decided to be naughty... i was super focussed before-i REALLY wanted to beat the two girls from my team (is that bad?)one had run 69.2(i had run 69.9) anyway the 69.2 girl was in front of me the whole way and expectedly so at the 200(her 200s are about 3s faster than mine!!!) but had her in a reasonable distance..at the 100 i was coming home strong and kicked a bit more, past her, kept going strong, then saw an ex team mate who has NEVER beaten me..and went right and PUUUUUUSSSSSHED hard and literally got her on the line..3m behind with 10m to go!!! anyway 69.86 EDIT(oops typo it was actually 68.96):for the 400- EXTREMELY happy with that..i wont give the considerings :)
am looking forward to seeing how fast i can run the 4, without doing a 15 or 8 before it

Yeah - she is an oldie .... but a goodie :-)

Phew, you are smokin' well done, what a great 1500.
So glad I am not the only one who gets the horrible throat, I thought it was just because I was crap LOL
Considering you're an "oldie loke", sub 69 is a good 400. Pretty good 15 too - a raspy burning throat is always a good sign you've worked hard. Well done!
I think that was a rolling-eyes kind of smile Stu had in that photo after hearing your joke.
Well after some deciphering, I finally understood your post (well the majority)! A very well controlled RACE which you should be very happy with (the 1500m) and a great example to many others!
Sub 5:40 is around the corner!
Congratulations Jo, you did a great job.
