still reeling

from the realisation that i could have won the county championships this weekend. and from running badly (or well according to everybody else) at millfield. but then it was windy but you shouldn't start making excuses for bad performances. the frustrating part is that i now have to wait until the tues day after the may bank holiday weekend before i can race again unless by some miracle i get a saturday off for a league meeting or an open meeting. some how i just don't think thats going to happen though, considering the answer has been 'no' virtually every single time i've asked for time off this year. with all the talk of strike action going on at work it looks like it could be a long summer. even at this time of year i don't fancy the thought of standing around outside in the cold at 5 in the morning. it usually gets resolved though but being asked to take on extra work 5 door 2 door items intead of 3 and only getting paid for 3 and being offered only 2.5% when infaltions at 4% is an absolutely disgraceful offer. its equivalent to a pay decrease in return for doing more work and a lot of people are quite annoyed about this insulting offer.

back to matters athletics another list of targets has been added to my list of targets for the season. a county vest on the track at the south west inter counties championships. thats if its not on my amsterdam weekend. but athletics is not my main target for the summer or at least for the next couple of weeks. passing the driving test is the main target as that will give me so much independence.

on to mondays session for the 1500 meter guys which was basically me and err me and no body else it was as follows: 4 x 600 with a long recovery. took me a while to wake up but in the end i did 1:49, 1:47 1:45 and 1:43, so two seconds off every time. it wasn't effort it was just a question of waking the legs up
