i finally broke the 10 miniute barrier last night at millfield-9 minutes 59 seconds, but i was really annoyed at being beaten by claire hallisey-again-yet i beat her all the time in training yet she seems to save all her best performances for competition. its annoying that i seem to save my best performances for training but theres got to be some reason for that. it was suggested last night that tapering before races isn't necesarily the right thing to do as your legs can go in to it not feeling awake. it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that i know i can beat her based on her training performances and it makes me feel that i should be running times like that rather than the absolute shite i ran last night. the conditions were were perfect, the pacemaking was absolutely perfect, there is no excuse for only just breaking 10 minutes i feel like i should have taken another 10 seconds off and i doubt i will get another opportunity as good as that all summer. and if anyone says to me 'ooh but you should be pleased because you ran a pb' i'm going to slap them in the face. i'm not happy about having to settle for second best.
don't ask me what i'm doing next because i don't know but the 1500's down at exeter are the most likely next target race.
