what was bad about today? not setting a new 1500 meter pb, when i know i'm in good enough shape to do it is very annoying. the weather is a fucking joke as well. no wind today so there was no excuses on that part, it was though pissing it down with rain, not that rain makes much difference to the times, it just makes the mood worse.
the good things? well there was just one small thing...it was the fastest 1500 meters i have done in afternoon race and also the fastest i have done at yate track. sorry i'm being a bit of a tony blair here trying to put a positive spin on some thing that really deserves not very much credit at all. but i am getting better at putting a positive spin on any thing that doesn't go exactly how i want it to. in the past i might have gone in to a bit of a sulk especially if i had been utterly humiliated by people that i would usually utterly humiliate in one of my many disasterous cross country races. but i'll save any gripes about that til the cross country season.
the time i did today was 4:42.8. i have accepted the fact that i will never be an olympic champion, but i would like a greater reward for all the hard work i put in than a slap in the face like that time is. oh well back to the drawing board for the next race which is more than likely to be the 1500 meters at exeter in two weeks time, but i really hope that i can find some thing before that.
but then if you want to put some proper perspective on things i would rather be in the position that i am in than that of the long jumper who got hit by a stray javelin on friday night. he was one lucky boy to survive an accident like that...
