..sigh....well i guess im pretty consistent

..did the milers meet at OP today
wanted sub 2:40(kinda 2:380s stu said to aim for 2:36 but i knew it wouldnt happen-particularly as it really was quite windy.. plan 1st 200, 37 400 at 77 then 39-40 and 39-40

sounds reasonable. in the first 200, i tried to be restrained-too much so-38s... and errrrr i was actually 15 ish m behind-yep way way last-oh goodie
so mostly run by myself-noone to tuck in behind for the wind :( went through in 77, but couldnt maintain, 1.59 at the 600 and then into the headwind in the stright-but i did come across a girl who was practically running backwards...lol..so surged-so did she and kept ahead of me- d'oh...ok regroup, one more surge, she tried to come but couldnt quite, so i did beat her and NOT come last...yay
2:40.29 :(
bit disappointed that its not sub 2:40, but if i put it in perspective, it is my second fastest race of the season, and my last 4 races have been 2:42,2:41,2:39,2:40 so im definitely a 2:40 runner this year- last year i was running 2:44s mainly, then a couple of 2:42s. then 2 excellent races 2:38 and 2:34
..still got a way to go to get back there

tired now- almost beddy byes for jojo

Seems like you're running races and meets about every second day or something now! I know I couldn't keep up with ya :-)

You would have been in a battle for first at our Masters' Champs this morning. 1st was 2:39, 2nd 2:41, 3rd 2:44.

Any more track races this season? It will soon be time to settle the bet :)
