pleased and then not pleased- shield comp

-rocked up to meadow glen and was amazed that there was not even a lick of wind.. the 1500s started and by th time the last mens heat was on there was becoming a more than noticeable wind.... bugger bugger bugger
anyway the plan was to start at 90s laps and see how i go. at the 200m i was in LAST place, and then gradually worked my way through.. i ran 90/94/94(but think i may have been slacking off) and then brought the last 300 home in 63 so ran 5.41 which is an 8s improvement from last 1500.
was pretty happy with that and fairly confident i can do better, have a bit of a cough and was not feeling fabbo but felt really strong in the race.
hoeweever, legs did feel tired after and the wind sprung up even more and the 400 was the ugliest i had ever run. seriously i ran a 73 second which is ridiculous for me!!!!!!!!!!!!! i did 69 last time. the start was possibly the worst i had ever done!it hurt twice-not just once as i cam out-grimaced and then ran with legs that had no kick

anyway my sister is unexpectedly over from america(found out on friday) so we are heading off

oh and i pbd in javelin..lol 15ish metres
threw a discus )(badly)
oh and hte 1500 is faster than i ran all season last year and fastest so far(it may be the 2nd fastest since i came back to aths)

How exciting, hope you are enjoying the catch up with your Sis.

Watch you back with those throws though!

That is a NICE 1500. Don't know how I'm going to get down near there.

Think we should have included the jav in the challenge ;)
