10th-16th
Saterday- Surreys 400m
Heat- 51.77
Final- 51.68
the heat felt pretty comftable- endedup relaxing alot over the last 30m - planned to save energy but probably did little good
Final was feeling ok, didnt get the greatest start. last 200m got going and had cought the group however someones number got stuck to my spicks and i rekon it affected 4-5 of my strides.also did the arm technique in the last 100m which is bloody tough and could feel my legs going faster but my shoulders did tighten up quite alot
Sunday- Surreys 800m
Final- 159.68
overall it was a good tactical race and i felt strong, unfortunatly the biggest dissapointment is the fact i let the leader get so far ahead. i didnt go of as fast as usal and ended up stuck at the back of the pack and by the bend the leader had attacked whilst the group i was behind failed to react and i was not brave enough to attack round the bend and ended up weighting till the stright-
lleaders first lap= 55
mine= 57
pack 59
dissapointed that i was not aggressive enough to catch him, one other ran with me but i lost him with 200m left
