Hey Guys, well in my last post i had just finished my 5k track race and was super pumped with the result, then went to Melbourne for a few days and a great concert. Fast forward 2 weeks till today and the landscape is a little different. Training had been good, although having 4 days off last weekend due to a head cold was not ideal, nonetheless i was very confident of racing well and going close to 33mins for the 10k.
I started out well and managed to hit the sectional times i was aiming for in the first 5k, however i knew at that point I was starting to fatigue and the last 5k was a battle and probably the toughest race i have done.
Had a few moments to myself after the race as i was frustrated and annoyed at myself. But at the end of the day i pushed as hard as i could on the day. Upon reflection, many a successful person in life say that they learn more from their failures than they do the success', so that's my answer going forward. My answer to the challenge will be in the next race, so looking forward to being able to rise to the occasion again.
A great way to spend a night after a race, was going to the West Coast Blues n Roots festival to see the one and only John Fogerty! Was a great night spent with my swedish mate Filip (who won Best on Ground) and we rocked out to some great CCR classics. There was also some other great bands and I will def be back there next year.
Just getting warmed up for Barnesy and Cold Chisel who are playing in the Swan Valley this saturday night.
