Yes, @ladygaga rocks but that's a lame video - she's not even moving - just like you with your 'kick' in that race.<br /><br />35-something is OK, but you need to get into the 34s soon. Fire off an email to Jaymee's new coach for a plan and get Keith to work on your form!

Three months ago I set my goal for the Sakai race to be a sub40. Three weeks ago I managed 40:04 in Ashiya so I thought I had a good chance of getting under 40:00 today. In spite of some good training sessions since Ashiya l finished in 41:29. Such a disappointment. (Factoring in an extra 250 metres might bring it down to 40:20). I could haul out some excuses--recovering from a cold, hayfever, lack of rest due overwork, etc-- but the fact remains I couldn't achieve my goal. Ugh. I really want to know how I can up the training to finally get under 40.<br /><br />But congrats to you on your fifth place!<br /><br />And yes the organization was dodgy. No chip, no km markers, and an extra long course -- that's a bit shocking. But all these disappointments aside, it was great weather, a good experience and good times with mates after the race. All in all no regrets, then. <br /><br />AND, you have helped me realize "I am on the right track" too! Thanks for that. Cheers, AngelAngelhttp://anyfidelity.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
