...oooh not long to go

not many sleeps now til stu and i jet off into the horizon...hehe...im a very nervy flyer so im kinda wishing i had booked quantas not jetstar :(
-also turns out , i will have to be doing hwk on the plane...-theyre not very appreciative of home life at my school. When i said gee theyre sitting the SAC on thursday and i fly out to sydney on thursday night and get back sunday-theyve just gone well you must have some time you will be able to mark it....hmmmmmm yes im paying a lot of money to go to sydney and compete just so i can also do hwk-nice going(and yes they were dead set serious)
-anyway session at the track tonihgt was 6x200 progressives somehwere like 42,41,40,39,38,37 i queried this 42 saying maybe start at 40 or 41 as thats pretty slow..stu then changed it to 41 and then down
it was windy(when isnt it at our track) so i decided to go from thee 300-100 so the wind was behind us for more.
running the straight before hte bend in a 200 is interesting
anyway first 100 was 18 and i went oops so slowed a little
went like this 39,38,37,36,35,34 HOWS that for good pacing eh? i felt like i even couldve gone a bit faster on the last one, I was very controlled
And it wasnt long recovery-it was a FAST walk back(supposed to be 60s but took 70s) and it really was a FAST walk back so it wasnt like you got to get your breathing completely normal-
felt pretty strong

then home for a quick bite-being good during the day and losing it a bit at night(had some butter..tsk tsk and im having a glass of red tonight SO THERE. i went to bed at 9.30 last night because i was overwhelmingly tired(but i did finish marking 2 classes of year 12 practice exams-and that was a freaking task and a half i tell you!


so now all i want is for my coach to come along and give me a time prediction for sat(assuming not windy) i know what i want! 2.40 or slightly under(and if he was REALLY nice he would give me one for next friday-but he cant really do that til i race this saturday i guess)
